Do you think of your Christian life as something private? Just between you and God?
In an age of individualism, it’s easy to see faith that way. I trust Jesus. I talk to God. I read my Bible. But things like meeting with other Christians, belonging to a church, and being in accountable relationships – that’s negotiable, right?
This week, we’re in Hebrews chapter 10, verses 19 to 39. And if there’s one message that rings loud and clear through this passage, it’s this: the Christian life is not meant to be lived in isolation. When you become a Christian, you’re called into a community. You’re called to journey together.
If the Christian life were a sport, it wouldn’t be a solo pursuit. It’d be a team sport.
And not just any team sport—it’s an endurance event. Think about it: even in solo sports, the best athletes have a team around them. Trainers. Coaches. Training partners pushing them to get better. You don’t excel alone.
German Pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, wrote that the call to follow Christ includes a call to community. You can’t separate the two. To belong to Jesus is to belong to his people.
So, as we work through this passage this week, I want to show you three things that define us as a community that belongs to Jesus. Three “let us” statements. These statements correspond to the three great Christian virtues: faith, hope, and love.
A Community of Faith
First, we are a community of faith. In verses 19 to 22, we have a summary of everything Hebrews has been saying about Jesus, our great high priest.
Pick it up with me from verse 19,
[19] Therefore, brothers [and sisters], since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, [20] by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, [21] and since we have a great priest over the house of God, (Hebrews 10:19–21 ESV)
In other words, Jesus has done it all. His perfect life, his sacrificial death, his torn flesh—it’s opened the way into God’s presence. What was once reserved for the high priest alone, once a year, is now wide open to us. The curtain is torn. The way is clear. We can come to God with full assurance.
And so, the first “let us” statement from verse 22,
[22] let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:22 ESV)
Let us draw near.
Let us trust in Jesus.
If you’re not yet a believer, hear this as an invitation today. Jesus has opened the door. Step in. Draw near. Trust in his finished work.
If you’re already a Christian, keep drawing near. Keep trusting. This isn’t a one-time event. It’s a daily posture of dependence on Christ.
We are a community of faith.
A Community of Hope
Second, we are a community of hope.
The next “let us” from verse 23,
[23] Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23 ESV)
Let us keep trusting Jesus.
Hold fast. Don’t let go. Don’t waver. Don’t drift back to old ways of thinking or living. Keep hoping.
Why? Because God is faithful. He keeps his promises. We hold fast to him who is holding fast to us. God’s got you. So hold on.
The Christian life isn’t a sprint. It’s a marathon. And we need hope to keep going—hope that looks forward, hope that says, “Jesus is coming back, and everything he’s promised will be ours.”
We are a community of hope.
A Community of Love
Third, we are a community of love.
The next “let us” from verse 24,
[24] And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, [25] not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24–25 ESV)
Let us help each other keep trusting Jesus.
Stir one another up to love. How? By meeting together. By being in proximity. By doing life together as the people of God.
Now, I get it—life is busy. Work happens. Sickness happens. Holidays happen. But hear this: gathering with God’s people must be a priority. It’s not about earning salvation—we’re saved by grace, through faith in Christ alone. But it is about responding rightly to what Christ has done.
When we gather, we encounter God in his Word. We encourage one another to keep trusting Jesus. We push each other on toward love and good works. And as the Day of Christ’s return draws near, we need this more than ever.
We are a community of love.
The Good News Is…
The good news is that through Jesus, you don’t have to go it alone. You’re not supposed to. You’ve been called into a family, a people, a community that trusts in Jesus together.
We draw near with confidence because of what Jesus has done. We hold fast to hope because God is faithful. And we stir one another up to love because we belong to each other in Christ.
This week, as we unpack these verses, my prayer is that you’ll see afresh what it means to be part of the community of Jesus. A community marked by faith, hope, and love. A community that trusts in Jesus—together.
Reflection
Where are you tempted to go it alone in your Christian life? How might God be calling you to lean more fully into the community of his people this week?

The team sport analogy really resonated with me – it’s a good reminder that faith is rarely lived out in isolation. I found a helpful discussion of community and spiritual growth at https://seed3d.ai that touches on similar ideas.
