But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. Hebrews 3:13–14 (ESV)

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 (ESV)
Because we have a high priest and he is one who understands and can sympathise with us, we can boldly come before the throne of grace
And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, Hebrews 5:9 (ESV)
