Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
We are as close to God as we choose to be. Every since I’ve accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior I have felt that way. I believe with all my heart that is a true statement. God has made every provision for us to obtain unlimited access to Him. The veil has been torn down and we can approach His throne with boldness, because of the blood of Jesus. At our church conference a few years ago the theme was “Experiencing God beyond the Veil” that theme alone speak volumes about how we can obtain true intimacy with God. Before Jesus was sacrificed for the remission of our sins we did not have the authority to approach God’s throne. The patriots of the bible days had to do so much in order to approach the throne. The priest had to go through many rituals in order to access the throne room of God. They performed all kinds of ceremonial rituals and cleansings, and sacrifice animals in order to gain access to God. Behind the veil were the ark, then the mercy seat, and the most holy place; behind the veil was the closest you could get to God. But because of Jesus the veil has been rent and we have the authority to boldly come before the throne of God. When we think of the sacrifice that Jesus made for us, we should desire a closer walk with God. We are without excuse there is nothing hindering us from obtaining an intimate relationship with God. We make excuses for not entering into that place with God. We try to justify our inconsistencies with our level of commitment to other things. If we are engaged in any activity that prevents us from spending quality time with God, it is time to let it ago. Nothing should occupy that space but God. Only God can quench the longing deep down in our souls. I challenge you to press through all the hindrances in your life and experience God beyond the veil.
Hebrews 10: 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
