TWO BECOME ONE. As difficult as it is to see in the natural it is made plainly visible in the spiritual realm. The church in the end of the age is destined to be the ideal church. The fulfillment of the plan of the ages. A people unified by the blood of Christ and by the Spirit of God. He has destroyed the middle wall of religiosity that created and maintained a separation. In this fashion, bringing peace to the body. The blending together of the body of Christ will become a reality in the end of the age. The cross of Christ was the end, the abolishment or the fulfillment of the Law. Through His death on Calvary He brought a conclusion to the Law, rendering it to be useless. Salvation is not of the Law but by grace and grace alone. A new man in Christ is the will of the Lord for all men. He must be acknowledged as Lord and Savior, there is no other way. Eph. 2:13-15
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY OF APPROACH UNTO THE FATHER. It is by the Spirit of the Lord that we are able to approach boldly unto His throne. If we do not have His Spirit dwelling within us, how may we come into His presence? Eph. 2:18 No one can come to the Father but through Jesus Christ for He is < the way >, < the truth > and the life. Jn. 14:6 Jesus said that any man that tries to gain entrance to the sheepfold or the kingdom of God, ANY OTHER WAY, that man is a thief and a robber. Jn. 10:1 Since He is the door and as such is the gate and entrance into the kingdom of God acutely evident that there is but one way, and that is the way that the Lord has ordained. Jn. 10:9
THERIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD AS A LION. They are not bold in the sense of being brash or brazen but approach the throne of God with great confidence. Prov. 28:1 The High Priest of the New Covenant is the Lord Jesus. Because He was made in the likeness of a man He is able to sympathize with us in all of our troubles. He was tempted and tried in every manner common to man. The heart of heaven, the heart of compassion is the Lord Jesus. There never has been nor will there ever be a more compassionate, sympathetic, feeling person, than Jesus. He understands, when others do not. There is no source of comfort that is greater than that which He will bestow on those who call on His name. Heb. 4:15 Be cause we know Him, because we are His, we dare come < boldly >, with confidence and assurance to the throne of the Lord, seeking and finding mercy and grace. A response and support to face and solve the problems of life that we face. Heb. 4:16 Because of His blood shed for us, we enter through that NEW and LIVING way that He has opened for us, through His death on the cross. When He died the veil of the Temple was torn in two, revealing the most holy place. His broken, tortured, torn and bruised body has opened up the ability for those who love Him to see into His glorious and wonderful presence and to comfortably come before Him. Coming without fear and trepidation knowing assuredly that He will receive us. Heb. 10:19-20
