   “I will sing for joy in GOD, explode in praise from deep in my soul! He   
   dressed me up in a suit of salvation, he outfitted me in a robe of   
   righteousness, As a bridegroom who puts on a tuxedo and a bride a jeweled   
   tiara. For as the earth bursts with spring wildflowers, and as a garden   
   cascades with blossoms, So the Master, GOD, brings righteousness into full   
   bloom and puts praise on display before the nations.” (Isa 61:10-11)   
      
   Yes, I and every other man Born Again by faith in Jesus, this be true, both   
   above and below this line.   
      
   Heb 10:19-39   
      
   19 So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into   
   "the Holy Place." Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice,   
   acting as our priest before God. The "curtain" into God's presence is his   
   body.   
      
   22 So let's do it—full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside   
   and out.   
      
   23 Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps   
   his word.   
      
   24 Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out,   
      
   25 not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on,   
   especially as we see the big Day approaching.   
      
   26 If we give up and turn our backs on all we've learned, all we've been   
   given, all the truth we now know, we repudiate Christ's sacrifice   
      
   27 and are left on our own to face the Judgment—and a mighty fierce   
   judgment it will be!   
      
   28 If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death,   
      
   29 what do you think will happen if you turn on God's Son, spit on the   
   sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit?   
      
   30 This is no light matter. God has warned us that he'll hold us to account   
   and make us pay. He was quite explicit: "Vengeance is mine, and I won't   
   overlook a thing," and, "God will judge his people."   
      
   31 Nobody's getting by with anything, believe me.   
      
   32 Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the   
   hard times!   
      
   33 Kicked around in public, targets of every kind of abuse—some days it was   
   you, other days your friends.   
      
   34 If some friends went to prison, you stuck by them. If some enemies broke   
   in and seized your goods, you let them go with a smile, knowing they couldn't   
   touch your real treasure. Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you   
   back.   
      
   35 So don't throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It's   
   still a sure thing!   
      
   36 But you need to stick it out, staying with God's plan so you'll be there   
   for the promised completion.   
      
   37 It won't be long now, he's on the way; he'll show up most any minute.   
      
   38 But anyone who is right with me thrives on loyal trust; if he cuts and   
   runs, I won't be very happy.   
      
   39 But we're not quitters who lose out. Oh, no! We'll stay with it and   
   survive, trusting all the way.
