Hebrews 10:22

Let us come near to God. Contrast this with Hebrews 12:18-21. "We have complete confidence that we can come near to God! We can worship the Pure and Undefiled One, because through Christ we are made to became pure and undefiled!!!" Sincere heart. "Not with empty formalism and endless rites, but in spirit and truth (John 4:23 and note)." Sure faith. "Believing not only that God is (Hebrews 11:6), but that our Great Priest has opened for us a new way to reach Him!" That have been made clean. See Hebrews 9:13 and note. Bodies washed with pure water. The Jewish mind would connect this with Christian baptism. See notes on Acts 19:3. Compare Exodus 29:4; Exodus 30:20; Exodus 40:30.
