Study note
Setting — The anonymous author of Hebrews writes to Jewish believers tempted to return to the temple system, at the point where the old sacrificial order has been declared finished (v. 18).
The words — παρρησίαν (parrēsian) is not generic confidence; it is the boldness of a citizen who holds legal standing and need not fear the magistrate's hand.
The thread — Hebrews 4:16 urges approaching the throne of grace with the same parrēsia; Hebrews 9:12 grounds it in Christ's single entry; Ephesians 2:18 restates the access through Him.
Why it lands — The "therefore" makes this a conclusion, not a suggestion: the barrier is removed, so the only remaining obstacle is the reader's own reluctance to come.
