10:19
The fact that God has done everything does not mean there is nothing for us to do, but there is nothing for us to do in terms of justifying ourselves. Through the blood of Jesus we have been perfectly justified. We are to live by faith. This means trusting in Christ’s work on the cross, and trusting in God to lead us through life, and to work in and through our lives. The writer of Hebrews states here that “since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus. We can enter the Most Holy Place, there is no better place to go. We have all we need.
10:20
We have entered the Most Holy Place “by a new and living way”. The sacrifices of the Old Testament were all dead! Christ, our sacrifice, is alive. In the tabernacle there was a curtain separating off the Most Holy Place. At the cross the curtain was famously torn in two (Matt 27:51). The death of Jesus has opened the way for us.
