The holiest place

In Leviticus 16, the most holy place was the area of the tabernacle that was the most sacred. It housed the ark of covenant where God dwelt above the cherubim of the mercy seat. In fact, it was so sacred that only one priest could enter (the high priest) and he could only do this once a year (the day of atonement). As you can see, if you wanted to be close to God, you couldn’t do it under the Old Law.

When Jesus came, He provided a way for all of us to have perfect access to the throne of God. Hebrews 10:19–20 says, “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; …” Now you and I can be as close to God as is possible because of the blood of Jesus.

Although the access is open to all, only the people who take hold of the blood of Jesus can enjoy this perfect access. Have you taken hold of His blood through submitting to Him in baptism (Romans 6:3-4)? If you haven’t, please contact us and we will be happy to show you what the scriptures say about your salvation.
