***Means you are completely delivered from the power and effects of sin and death***
Read Hebrews Chapter 10
Key Verses: Hebrews 10:19-23…
19 “And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus. 20 By His death, Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place. 21 And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house, 22 let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise.”
What was once off limits to you has now been flung open so you can enter in. By accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you now have direct access to the throne of God, the Most Holy Place. It may never have occurred to you before that it is important to have that kind of access to the Father. But it is. Before receiving the forgiveness of your sin you were separated from the love of God. A Holy God cannot look upon sin, so that left an unfillable chasm between you and God. But now because of the blood of Jesus, your sin has been completely washed away. You have been made clean, white as snow. Now you can boldly enter into heaven’s Most Holy Place.
The only thing God sees now is the blood of Jesus, He no longer sees the sin that once separated you from Him. That’s great news isn’t it? You can now BOLDLY enter that Most Holy Place and have a relationship with your Father in heaven.
This is what SALVATION has given you! So how do you go into the presence of God while still here on earth? Going to God with a sincere heart in prayer unites you to your Father. When you praise and worship Him, He accepts your offering. Trusting the will of God for your life brings you in direct communion with the Father. Obedience to His Word draws you near to Him.
Because you have been saved and the blood of Christ covers your sin, you have hope! You now have hope in knowing heaven will be your eternal future, your hope lies within the reality that you have a relationship with the Father. In that hope it shows you have full trust that God keeps His promises. Hold tightly to the hope that SALVATION brings into your life. Without SALVATION, your life would be forever hopeless.
Prayer:
Thank You Jesus my Savior for cleansing me white as snow when I called on Your name to be saved. Thank You for giving me access to the Father. Lord, I pray that my hope, my faith in You would never waver. I pray that my trust in Your will, in Your promises will be something I hold tightly to. Thank You Father for sending Your Son so I can now have access to Your Holy presence. Amen.
