Hebrews 10:19-22 (NKJV)
19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
21 and having a High Priest over the house of God,
22 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.
The writer speaks of entering into a new and full relationship with God. When Jesus died on the cross the veil of the temple was ripped from the top to the bottom. No longer was there the barrier to the most holy place. No longer was man separated from the presence of God by sin. God provided a way for us to come to Him, which is our faith in this man named Jesus, the Son of God.
We can step through to a new and living way of life, now and for all eternity, for we enter into the house of God. A temple made with our hands is no longer needed. The temple has been replaced by the body of Christ. We serve a living Lord who lives in us. We are His body on earth until He comes again.
So then let us draw near God by this new and living way and give thanks for what He has done.
