A GUARANTEED ACCESS INTO GOD’S PRESENCE

A GUARANTEED ACCESS INTO GOD’S PRESENCE

Dear Steamians,

when some gives you access to see one personality that matters in the society, like President Donald trump, how is your feel like? Great I guess? That is the most natural way to feel, I agree with you.

Here I want to remind you at the beginning of a new day from my time zone that there is a glorious access to him who is above ALL which we have either accessed partially or not at all. This personality is all we need in this life and beyond.
This access to his glorious presence is guaranteed in his Book. This BOOK contains his mind. He never lies.

Hear him.

For through Him, we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father (Ephesians 2:18).

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus Christ, by a new and living way, which He hath consecrated for us, through the veil that is to say, 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..... (Hebrew 10:19-22).

Among every other privileges a child of God has, is free access into the presence of God. It is a guaranteed access through the Blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary. It is a privilege provided through the death of God’s Son, Jesus.
This privilege was not known to our Old Testament brethren. They desired it but could not see it materialize in their time.

The very presence of God then was limited to a man, the High Priest. He was the only qualified person to enter into the presence of God, the Holy of Holies, once a year to atone for the sins of the people (Hebrews 9:2-9). At that time, the High Priest would take the blood of a lamb without blemish into the Holies of Holies, which he would sprinkle on the altar. Before doing this, he must have first cleansed himself by that same blood. With this arrangement, the Israelites could not go to the Holiest of all by themselves.

They depended solely on the High Priest for the atonement of their sins. The presence of God in the Holy of Holies was represented by the Ark of the Covenant. The presence of the Ark was also the presence of God. It is also important to mention that not only were the people banned from entering the Holies of Holies, a veil served as a covering across the entrance of the Holies of Holies. It was an effective barrier to the people.

It was a restricted area. However, this whole arrangement was overturned by the coming death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:14).

God then was about to do a new thing. When Jesus finally gave up the ghost on the cross, a significant event took place in the temple. The veil that covered the Holy of Holies was rent in two signifying the barrier or the middle wall of partition between God and the people and between the Jews and the Gentiles has been broken down (Ephesians 2:4-8).

The symbolism was that each believer (in Christ) now has free access to God by himself (Hebrew 10:19-23). The Bible says in Matthew 27:50-51;

Jesus when He had cried again with a loud voice yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the Earth did quake, and the rocks rent.

Hear this again

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11 (KJV)
