Hebrews 4:14-16

Enter God's Rest and Draw Near to the Great High Priest

Because God's promised rest still stands, believers must fear unbelief, receive God's word with faith, strive to enter rest, submit to the exposing word of God, and draw near with confidence to Jesus the great high priest.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

14Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.

15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

16Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
