How can anyone enter the presence of the living God with confidence?  It certainly cannot be done through good looks, money, a position of power, false humility, education, or any human effort.  Entering God’s presence is by one way only…no other way exists.

Jesus said…
(NASB) Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

If the gate is small and the way is narrow, how can anyone enter?   Anyone enters only by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  There is no other way.  Jesus gave Himself one time – there is no need for Him to give anything more.  His sacrificial blood offering paid for any and all sins.

Followers of Christ shout – “Hallelujah;” we are forgiven.  We are delivered from sin, death and Satan.  We have a Savior and His name is Jesus.

Does this mean I will never sin again?  No, we will sin again and we need to continually confess known sins to our Lord.  The day is coming when we will be without sin…but that day is not today.  That day is still future to us…but it is coming.

How are the followers of Christ to approach the living God?
(NASB) Hebrews 10:19-20 “Therefore brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh…”

How do we worship and enter the presence of God?  We enter by having faith in the saving blood of Jesus Christ.  His work on the cross cannot be underestimated!

When you pray, you can enter into God’s presence with confidence.
The living God hears, He has answers for your prayers.
He guides you on the path He has for you.

Jesus made it all possible when He died and was resurrected.

Jesus made it possible for you to enter God’s holy presence by the new and living way through faith in His sacrificial blood offering.

Jesus made it possible for you to enter that small gate and walk that narrow path by faith in Him.
Followers of Christ…walk with Him today.

Come!  Enter God’s presence!
He is waiting for you to respond by faith in His Son, Jesus!
