This word CONFIDENCE is mentioned in the Greek four times in the Book of Hebrews.
It is likened to a BEDROCK BELIEF of BOLD ASSURANCE. It indicates authorized and bold (in humility) freedom to enter the Holy of Holies. The Holy of Holies is the literal and spiritual “Mercy Seat.” First, Yeshua, when he died, went to heaven, applied the blood to the throne room “the mercy seat of the Father,” and now He applies it to our hearts, at our request. So if we are the Temples of Holy Spirit, the blood is spiritually applied to our hearts, (our personal throne room). Then, with the Blood of Yeshua applied to our hearts, we are saying He is on the throne of our hearts. This Mercy Seat is available for ALL people. We can come to the Lord in Confidence, knowing He will caste our sins as far as the east is from the west and will remember them NO MORE.
This is interesting because we as people decide all the time whether to forgive someone or love someone. This originates in our own little throne rooms.
REMEMBER, God is Not a human being that forgives or loves as a human. He is not a man that He should lie. If he has said it, He will do it. We may think about it when someone asks for forgiveness. We say to ourselves, "WELL, I WILL JUST WAIT TO SEE IF THEY DO IT AGAIN AND THEN I WILL DECIDE WHETHER TO FORGIVE THEM OR NOT."
God has not ever and will never do this toward ANYONE. He died for us before we were born, before we did anything good or bad in our lives. We do not have to live up to His expectations to be excepted by Him, NO, His love never becomes more or less for us. His love is not dependent on us, IT JUST IS! It is like a Parents love for their children.
BUT, God desires that we CHOOSE Him every day of our lives. God desires our love because He wants us to KNOW HIM (have Intimacy with him). It is again a human concept, to think, I did something for you, now, you do something for me. God does not have this human concept. God is not a human. (GOD IS SPIRIT AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP, WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH). The angels worship God because they know who He is. The angels were never and can never be REDEEMED by the blood of Yeshua. We have something they do not have-REDEMPTION.
Yeshua died for the world, so we could ALL know God.
Today, is your little throne room covered by the Blood of Yeshua?
Are you offering the same LOVE, LIFE, and MERCY to others that Yeshua has offered you?
May I LOVE the way Yeshua loves me.
May I forgive the way Yeshua forgives me.
Here is the scripture that confirms this.
Hebrews 10
19.... we have full freedom and confidence to enter into the [Holy of] Holies [by the power and virtue] in the blood of Jesus,
20By this fresh (new) and living way which He initiated and dedicated and opened for us through the separating curtain (veil of the Holy of Holies), that is, through His flesh,
21And since we have [such] a great and wonderful and noble Priest [Who rules] over the house of God,
22Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water.
23So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgment of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word.
24And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities,

Heb. 10:35Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward.
36For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and [e]carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.
37For still a little while (a very little while), and the Coming One will come and He will not delay.
