‏ Hebrews 10:15

v. 15–18: The apostle points out that the Holy Spirit testifies in Scripture about Jesus. The main blessing from Christ’s sacrifice is a new and gracious covenant, based on His finished work (Hebrews 10:15 a). God promises to give His Spirit to His people, writing His laws in their hearts and minds (Hebrews 10:16; Jeremiah 31:31 b). This makes obeying God’s commands easier and more joyful. God also promises that their sins and iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 10:17 c). This shows the greatness of God’s grace and the completeness of Christ’s sacrifice. For true believers, their sins are no longer remembered—there is no more shame or condemnation (Hebrews 10:18 d). The old priesthood could never achieve this.

Now the apostle finishes the teaching about Christ’s priesthood. He is ready to encourage believers to respond with affection and to live out the duties of the gospel, knowing the great blessings they have in Christ.
