• in order to promote the affection and deeds worthy of Christians, it is important to hear the caution, "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is customary for some, but encouraging." (“Hebrews 10:15-25” by W. Kelly)
• As responsibility is here in view, it is "the day" or appearing of the Lord that follows, when our fidelity or the lack of it will be manifested. Conscience should be the more in exercise, because of the grace wherein we stand; but flesh would take advantage of grace for carelessness. (“Hebrews 10:15-25” by W. Kelly)
• Giving up any assemblage which has the Lord's sanction for ease, or private reasons which are not imperative duty, may embolden to give up many, nay, all, and so end in callous contempt and fleshly self-indulgence. (“Hebrews 10:26-31” by W. Kelly)
• We see that it is the judgment which is here presented as the thing looked for-in order that it may act on the conscience and guard Christians from turning back to the world, and from the influence of the fear of man-rather than the Lord’s coming to take up His own people. (“Hebrews 10” by J.N. Darby)
• As “the day”—the day of glory—approaches, the difficulties will increase, making it all the more needful that we should seek the support of one another and not neglect the assembling together of the saints. (“The New Worshippers: Hebrews 10:19-22” by H. Smith)
