Hebrews 10:22

In Hebrews 10:22, the author encourages us to draw near to God with an assurance based upon Jesus' sacrifice.

Hebrews 6:11 emphasizes that we can experience the feeling of assurance when we live the Christian life with diligence.  This does not mean that we need to earn salvation, but it does remind me that I'll feel better about my standing with God when I'm doing the right things!
