No Shortcuts, No Secret Entrances

“Therefore, brothers and sisters, 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 and with the full assurance that faith brings,
having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience
and having our bodies washed with pure water.”
Hebrews 10: 19-22

Listen to the words of this song:

“Take me into the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the Blood of the Lamb
Take me into the Holy of Holies
Take the coal
Touch my lips
Here I am.”

We enter the Holy of Holies through the blood of the Lamb.
A way was made for us because of the work that was finished by Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, when He shed His sinless blood on the cross for whoever will receive it by faith.
There simply is no other way!
Not because I say so but because God says so.
Some may boldly proclaim an inclusive God who, in His love, has provided other entrances into fellowship with Him.
But it is in His love that He gave His one and only Son to die for us and then set Him high above all powers in heaven and on earth.
There is no other way into the Holy of Holies.
You need not look for shortcuts or ‘secret’ doorways.
 Entrance is available to you today.
Call out to Jesus Christ, repent of your sins,
confess Him as Lord and surrender your life to Him. 
Your response:
“I go to church every Sunday.
As a matter of fact, I go to a church like His Place, the same as you.”
His response to you:
See lines in bold print above!
It is not through church attendance or any other works.
 All your good intentions cannot make another way.
You know the cliche’-
“The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Move from intentions to action…
 Call out to Christ today.
