• Read Hebrews 10: 26-31

• Read Hebrews 10: 8-18

In verse 10 we are “made holy”

In verse 14 we are “being made holy”

• Which part is already done and which part is a continual work?

• Read Hebrews 10: 8-14

Several times, we’ve compared Christ’s sacrifice with the earthly priests. How is the compared/ contrasted in these verses:

• What is an explanation of the significance in Christ’s seated position?
• God the Father was the one who willed for Christ to come and sacrifice, Christ was obedient to that will. (v9)
• Spend some time just pondering that the Father who required a blood sacrifice to cleanse us for relationship with Himself, provided the most costly sacrifice that He could in order

• Read Hebrews 10:1-10

How is the law a shadow of good things coming? Think back through the ten commandments from this summer and other laws that we’ve worked through together.

How is what Christ offered different than this original sacrificial system?

The definition of holy means: set apart, separate, sacred. That is how God sees us once Christ has paid the penalty for our sins?

On a separate piece of paper, write out a prayer of thanks for being “made holy”.

As we anticipate being together for worship, spend some time preparing your heart to sit with your spiritual family.

Reflect back on the week’s devotions and bring before the Lord anything that you feel has usurped His rightful place in your heart.

Ask Him to speak as you are listening.
