The True Christian Life

One of the main purposes of the letter is to assure believers that their sins are forgiven. We have no need to go anywhere else to secure a clean conscience. The author reminds the readers and us that we have a perfect and sinless priest and one who reigns at God’s right hand. His once - for - all sacrifice atoned for our sins forever. Why would the readers think of trusting in (Old Testament) priests who were sinful and mortal when they are beneficiaries of the work of God’s Son, who has been perfected and offers complete and final cleansing from sin?
