Hebrews 4:16

“Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.

Therefore, He had to be made like His brothers in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope.

(for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who draws near to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “so that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them.”
