It builds up things like, oh, let's talk about your priest, by the way.

You know, the priest that goes and offers atonement for you?

Well, he's got his own issues.

He's got to go make atonement for his sins before he can even make atonement for your sins.

And he's got to do it every single year on Yom Kippur.

And it just goes down the whole thing of this argument of how

This is such an insufficient way.

And so it builds out the insecurity, which would be the lack of confidence.

And then to your point, Jace, you said something, there's no fear in love.

Well, introduce Christ who through his flesh, and this is what the text says.

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain.

That's that veil into the Holy of Holies, through the curtain, that is through his flesh.

That's why when you read 1 John and 2 John, it talks about the Antichrist being anyone...

who does not acknowledge that Christ came in the flesh, because actually, if you don't acknowledge that he came in the flesh, well, then there actually wasn't a veil that was torn, and we have no way back into the Holy of Holies.

Since we have now, though, a high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart.

in full assurance, this is the confidence you're talking about, of faith, with our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

And then it says, let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering for he who promised is faithful and let us consider how to stir one another up

So guess what?

Love and good works.
