Draw Near - He is Enough!

"Therefore, brothers since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. " Hebrews 10:19



Drawing near to God! What a thought! We, who trip and stumble over our own sin, who are sadly prone to do the things that keep us distant from an "awesome" God, are actually able to draw near Him - without the hint of a thing in the way. In fact, not even a curtain!

Although we know we are too inadequate for this privilege on our own, our hope can be rightly placed in Jesus and His blood as our only "new and living way" to God. We can stand before Him - without shame, embarrassment, or guilt . . . what freedom! He sprinkles our hearts and washes our bodies with pure water. As we come to Him with a sincere heart, we can have full assurance in His faithfullness and that He is enough. Sounds good, huh?

He makes us ready for a life with Him!
