For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
30. For we know him that hath said, etc. Both the passages are taken from Deuteronomy 32:35, 36. But as Moses there promises that God would take vengeance for the wrongs done to his people, it seems that the words are improperly and constrainedly applied to the vengeance referred to here; for what does the Apostle speak of?
Believers have boldness to enter God's holy presence and a High Priest in Jesus who mediates all our access. The blood of Christ, sprinkled on the conscience, chases away slavish fear and gives assurance of safety and welcome into the divine presence both here in grace and hereafter in glory.
