He Who Promised Is Faithful

Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, 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. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:19-25

In the Old Testament, access to God in the tabernacle and temple was strictly limited. Only the High Priest could go in through the curtain, and then only once a year. But at the very moment Jesus died, the curtain in the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, showing that the barrier between man and God was destroyed forever.

Because of Christ’s sacrifice for our sins, all those who love and follow Him can come into His presence at any time. He has given us the right of access.

Access to God’s throne is always open.
