When we truly encounter the truth of the gospel, it always makes a practical difference in our lives. After finishing the main theological argument, the author of Hebrews gives 3 specific applications, each signaled by the phrase “let us”: let us draw near to God, let us hold fast our confession, and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works. And, we are reminded that we can’t do these things on our own. We simply cannot live the Christian life in isolation, but instead we need to be devoted and committed to the church, where we find encouragement from the body of believers.
