Hebrews 10:21-22 Going boldly to God

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

HEBREWS 10:21-22 " And having an high priest over the house of God; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."

How is it possible for us to go right into the presence of God? When we come with pure, individual, and sincere worship. We can know if we have 'sincere' hearts if we evaluate our thoughts and motives according to His Word (see 4:12).

Christians can approach God boldly, free from our guilty consciences and in full assurance because of the work of Jesus Christ. We can go to God without doubting, knowing that he will hear and answer us. Under the new covenant, our hearts and consciences are cleansed completely, not partially or temporarily.

Our clean consciences allow us to enter God's presence with boldness. Finally, the imagery of our bodies having been "washed with pure water" actually pictures an inward cleansing. Just as baptism is an outward sign that represents the purification that Christ does inside us, so this washing speaks of an internal cleansing from sin. Once cleansed, we can appraoch God.

Go forth, talk to God with boldness. He will listen. If you are not clean, stop and ask forgiveness and then approach God. God is OUR GOD, and is there for us. Go to HIM. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
