“Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.”
Hebrews 10:24-25 (WEB)
Building Each Other Up
In Hebrews 10, the author speaks to believers, encouraging them to hold steadfast to their faith and embrace the new covenant through Jesus' sacrifice, contrasting it with the old sacrificial system. Before the encouragement to provoke love and good works, there is an emphasis on approaching God with confidence. The verse highlights the importance of community, contrasting the act of assembling together with the habit of some to forsake it, emphasizing mutual exhortation as the Day approaches. Consider how you might reach out to someone in your community today, perhaps with a word of encouragement or an invitation to gather, nurturing the spirit of togetherness.
