Let Us Draw Near

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.
Hebrews 10:19-22

Let Us Draw Near
The question of sin now settled, the believer is encouraged in those privileges that are proper to him. The law sternly forbade entry into the holiest. In the legal system God dwelt in thick darkness, and none dared approach. But the saint of God today is called to approach with calm, holy boldness, having fullest confidence in the blood of Jesus, which gives perfect title to the immediate presence of God.

The way into the holiest is both "new," as accomplished by the death of Christ, and "living," as being vital and eternal. Moreover, He has consecrated it. No service of consecration is left to man at all. The veil, separating between the holy place and the Holiest, is here interpreted for us as "His flesh." His perfect manhood was actually an absolute barrier to man's entrance into God's presence, for in Christ's blessed manhood God demonstrated that only perfection was satisfactory to Him. The death of Christ—the rending of the veil from top to bottom—is the wondrous work that opens the way into God's presence for us.

He is also a High Priest over the house of God, One whose mediation is perfection itself, and because of Him the believer is gladly welcomed. It is right that we should draw near, but certainly with a true heart. How could we dare stoop to deceit in connection with those things in which God's perfect truth and love have been so clearly manifested? We draw near in full assurance of faith. This should be our attitude in drawing near—no unholy familiarity or unseemly forwardness, yet no terror or shrinking, but with a calm, holy decision of faith.

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-FOOLISH PROPHETS

The word of Jehovah came unto me, saying: Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say unto them that prophesy out of their own heart, Hear ye the word of Jehovah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow after their own spirit, and have seen nothing!...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE DON'T!

A negative change is generally abhorred by men. Everyone craves progress. We always desire to keep ascending the ladder of success. No one wants to make a u-turn in the journey of greatness. The greatest journey whose end has the greatest significance is the journey to Heaven. This journey is only made in Jesus...More
