19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. 23Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:19-25 (NIV)

Thanks to Jesus' death on the cross and resurrection from the dead, we are able to come to God boldly and experience forgiveness and redemption. Everything changes, right? We have hope instead of despair, we trust in a sovereign God instead of our limited selves, we have a purpose to serve and encourage others instead of aimless, selfish living. This passage reminds us that thanks to Jesus, we are able to have an amazing relationship with God - and with others. It's different than it was before - and it's better.
