New Testament
Book of Hebrews
Key Verses
Hebrews 4:16 - 4:16 Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.

Hebrews shows that God the Father has spoken through the Son; that He honours the Son, and therefore Jesus Christ is the new covenant's high priest or mediator.

The writer concludes with the superiority of the Christian believers walk of faith.
