Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Neglecting public worship is a sin, plainly commanded against here. Whether fear of persecution, indifference, doubt about the duty itself, or mere sloth kept some away, the fault is theirs. God's house deserves the gathering of His people, and to forsake it is to forsake Him.
AI summary
The apostle stirs up the faithful to holy living and calls the faithless to tremble at the Judge's bench, since they wickedly rejected Christ, in whom alone salvation dwells. The Day approaches; let that settle every conscience.
AI summary
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.
