What does Hebrews 10:36 mean?

Verses 35 and 36 are a short-hand explanation of the entire book of Hebrews. The original audience of the letter is the population of persecuted Jewish Christians of the early church. The early chapters detailed how Jesus' humanity made Him the perfect candidate to be our Messiah (Hebrews 1—2). The writer then pointed to the suffering of Israel as an example of how God would respond to doubt and disobedience: with suffering and punishment, aimed at correcting our sinful attitudes (Hebrews 3—6). After this, Hebrews spent considerable time explaining how the new covenant in Christ is superior to the old covenant of animal sacrifices (Hebrews 7—10).

Knowing all of this, then, Christians ought to be extremely confident in our faith. This reason for confidence should give us encouragement and boldness, even in the face of persecution. At the same time, the profound assurance God offers us leaves no excuse when we choose to sin (Hebrews 10:26–29). In order to obtain all of the blessings God intends for us, spiritually, we need to be willing to do His will.
