Hebrews 10:19-25 "It is finished." By Christ we have been reconciled to God and to one another

Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having a great priest over God’s house, let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water, let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering; for he who promised is faithful.Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching. On the Cross Jesus declared "It is finished." What did he mean? By sacrificing his life for sinners he reconciled God to man (justification). By his work as the risen Son of God (our high priest) he demonstrated his faithfulness and has shown to be faithful to one another by gathering in the church in his name imitating his faithfulness to us.
