Heb.10:35 Therefore don't throw away your boldness, which has a great reward. 10:36 For you need endurance so that, having done the will of God, you may receive the promise.

Can a person have boldness towards God if they are a condemned sinner? Well, just above the writer of Hebrews states no! It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God being a sinner. Hence, here, is the point, the point written about all over in the Greek scriptures by the apostles of Christ. If one goes back to the commandments of the old law, they are once again a sinner having no sacrifice for sin left. God is no longer accepting inferior animal blood for sin atonement, the blood and service is abolished, because of the righteousness of then sinless blood of Christ Jesus was shed for our sins.

Romans 11:32 For God has shut up all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

Romans 3:19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

Each Christian's must remember God's promise, in Christ, and not loss their boldness by standing before God in the redemption of Christ Jesus precious blood. But there's more, and what is that? Preaching obedience to God's commandments as atonement for sin, is backwards, as some were doing here, but why? God's commandments did not declare us non-sinners, the commandments instead loudly declared us sinners, and unrighteous, sinners cannot keep God's commandments, they must be redeemed and atone for by blood for breaking the commandments.

Romans 7:13 Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

Christ was the only human too keep God's commandments, do you know why? Because he was sinless, if a person is sinless they keep God's commandments. Now don't get this backwards thinking as some do that Christ earned sinlessness by obeying the commandments for us. No, if you don't sin there are no commandments, but love. Commandments are for sinners convicting them of sin, Christ was sinless he needed no commandment to love his Father YHWH.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

So we cannot be righteous, by commandments, as was being taught by false brothers in bring back laws for sinners, and/or by commandments, rules, and doctrine. The truth is we are declared righteous by Christ Jesus blood, having that blood we are no longer a sinner, hence, the commandments are fulfilled by Christ life in us! Not by ours self good works of law, but why? Because in Christ we are sinless, we were made sinless by God accounts His Son's life as our own life, substituting it for our old life.

Romans 5:19 For as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

The only way to keep the commandments is how Christ kept them in not sinners, abolishing any judgment by commandments, because non-sinners do not need commandments. They have no commandments judging them as sinner, because they have no sin, and because they accept the life of Christ Jesus by faith, hence, killing the power of judgment from commandments finding themselves under the headship of Christ in God's love. In this way, they maintain the boldness God gave them in a sinless life.

Galatians 3:11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, "The righteous will live by faith."{Habakkuk 2:4}
