Let Us Go Right Into The Presence Of God

The moment we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as our Lord and Saviour, we can boldly enter into the presence of God at any time and at any place, because the blood that Jesus shed on the cross cleanses us from all unrighteousness, thus freeing us from all guilt and punishment.

"And so, dear brothers and sisters,
we can boldly enter heaven's Most Holy Place
because of the blood of Jesus.
By His death,
Jesus opened a new and life-giving way
through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.

And since we have a great High Priest
who rules over God's house,
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."
Hebrews 10:19-23 (NLT)

However, the Bible states that we must approach God with sincere hearts fully trusting Him. It is because of Jesus Christ and our faith that we can boldly and confidently come into God's presence.

"Because of Christ and our faith in Him,
we can now come boldly and confidently
into God's presence."
Ephesians 3:12 (NLT)

When we pray to our Heavenly Father, let us pray boldly, with our hearts sincere and our faith full — not timidly, shamefully, or skeptically. It is because of His sacrificial death that Jesus Christ has the power and authority to be our great High Priest, offering us the forgiveness of our sins.
