How can sinful people have fellowship with a holy God? John wants us to be confident of our standing before God, not by denying our sin, but by allowing God to properly deal with it. See how the the death of Jesus should make us both completely honest about our sin and completely secure of our salvation.

'Make every effort... to Rest'. It is a paradoxical statement at the heart of the letter to the Hebrews. What sort of effort does God require, and how does it lead to rest? He asks that we allow His word to do His work on us - showing us that we are more sinful than we ever imagined, but more loved than we ever dreamed.
