In the sermon "Draw Near, Hold Fast, Exhort One Another," Paul Mahan addresses the theological doctrines of perseverance and the nature of Christ as the sole mediator between God and humanity, focusing on the call to approach God with reverence and faithfulness. Mahan argues that believers are invited to draw near to God through Christ's sacrificial blood, establishing the significance of a true, humble heart in worship as seen in Hebrews 10:19-22. He highlights that it is by God's grace that individuals are able to come to Christ, emphasizing that true worship requires coming to God not out of obligation, but from a genuine need for mercy (Hebrews 4:16). This perspective underscores the practical implications for the Christian community—encouraging believers to actively support one another in faith, keeping their focus on Christ, as they await His return.
“Let us draw near to God with a true heart... having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience.”
“If you love someone, you want to be with them, don't you? We're here to call on our Lord.”
“What can we do for God? Nothing. But give Him the honor.”
“Our God is, was, and shall be a consuming fire. How do we come to God? By the blood.”
