Hebrews 10:19-22 (ESV)
The Full Assurance of Faith
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
On the day Jesus was crucified, the curtain into the most holy place in the temple was torn from the top to bottom. It was confirmation that a new and living way into the presence of God had been opened to man. Many would draw near in faith and receive the Holy Spirit. The holy of holies could now be found in the abiding place of the Spirit, that is in the hearts of the many. We are bodily cleansed by the waters of our baptisms and the baptism of the Holy Spirit who comes by the hand of Christ brings us into His life to lead us in the way we should go.
