Let Us Enter


Heb.4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

The veil has been rented. The curtain, 4 inches thick, 15 feet tall, was torn apart from top to bottom in the holy of holies where the high priest made sacrifices for his sins and for the sins of the people. When Jesus died on the cross, He sacrificed His life once and for all for the sins of the whole world. He is our high priest, the earthly priest no longer needs to make blood sacrifices for the people. We now have access to the Father, through the blood of Jesus. We can now come boldly into God’s holiness. If we have confessed our sin and believed that Jesus paid the price to forgive our sins, we need not fear coming boldly to the throne where God will pour out His grace to meet our needs. It is only through Jesus that we now have access to the Father, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Act 4:12) Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”) God’s word makes it clear that coming to the Father (God) is only made possible through Jesus, the one who died for you and me so that we may approach the throne of grace with clean hands and a pure heart. Thank God! He is a God of grace and mercy, and as His child, we call Him Abba Father, and He pours out His grace to us in our time of need. Let us enter into His presence.

The Body of Christ

Eph 2:18 “for through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father”- 
All who are in Christ Jesus make up the body of Christ. This is the true church. It matter not your station in life or your genetic roots, Christ came to unity all people under His banner of love. The institution of the church has been a vehicle that God has used to strengthen and organized His work, but it has also been a hinderance to all who call themselves Christian and truly desire to live for God. Many bonds of fellowship have been broken because the “church” they associate with cannot accept the practices of others. We sometime behave as if we are the only ones that will make it to heaven. I believe God is please with any “church” that will choose to make Christ the head and sincerely follow the footsteps of Jesus. We both who desire to live for Christ have access by His Spirit. The Father looks down and sees the blood of Christ applied to the heart and gathers all who live consciously in His word, and calls them His Church. The bride of Christ.
