               Theological Outline of Hebrews 10:19-25


                       Believers everywhere can freely enter the sanctuary of God because of the way opened
                       for them by the blood of Jesus (cf.19-20). Christ Himself functions as their high priest over
                       the house of God (cf.21). Considering these truths, believers should embrace the new
                       privileges that Christ’s sacrifice has afforded them.
