God

So when God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath.

Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.

This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.

For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.

For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

When everything had been prepared in this way, the priests entered regularly into the first room to perform their sacred duties.

how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!

saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”

For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.

Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”

Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.

But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.

“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

Then He adds: “Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.”

and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”

It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

You need to persevere, so that after you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.
