How the Blood Gives You Access to God

1. The blood of Jesus enables you to enter holy places.

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God

Hebrews 10:17-21

Holy places are out of bounds to wicked people. Because of your sins, you have been kept away from holy places all your life. You have always been excluded from the inner sanctuary because of your wicked nature. Now, through the blood of Jesus, you will be able to penetrate to the holiest and highest places. Through the blood of Jesus, you can pierce the veil that has kept you far away from holy places. You have now pierced the veil that kept you out.

Because of the access given by the blood of Jesus, you have gained admission to the holy club. You are now a real part of the holy group. Because of the blood, you can now participate and share in holy things. What a privilege to have access through the blood of Jesus! From now on, you can go to the Holy of Holies and commune directly with God. The wall of partition has been broken down by the blood of Jesus!

2. Through the blood of Jesus you become bold in the presence of God.

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Having therefore, brethren, BOLDNESS TO ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST BY THE BLOOD OF JESUS, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God; 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.

Hebrews 10:17-22

Wicked people are not bold when they are in the presence of God are not bold because of their guilt and shame. They are aware of their wickedness and have deep feelings of guilt. A great blessing that comes to you through the blood of Jesus is boldness. Your sins are washed away and the records are covered with the blood. A person who is ashamed does not come out boldly. His shame makes him timid and shy. To be bold is to have self-assurance and to be without shame in spite of your sinful past. Being bold through the blood of Jesus shows a certain fearlessness in relating to your heavenly father. You can now put aside your timidity and relate boldly with God. The blood of Jesus has wiped out the records of your sin. You are just like an angel in the presence of God because of the blood of Jesus.

3. Through the blood of Jesus you have supernatural peace.

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Colossians 1:19-22

Through the blood of Jesus, God has given you peace. This peace means that you enter a state of tranquility or quiet. Peace through the blood of Jesus means that you are free from disquieting or oppressive thoughts and emotions. Through the blood of Jesus, you gain peace of mind and harmony in personal relationships.

4. You can now feel the presence of God because of the blood of Jesus.

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Ephesians 2:12-16

God has brought us near through His blood. To be brought near means to be drawn closer to something. In this case, you have been drawn closer to God through the blood. To come near someone means you can make advances towards the person whenever you want to. Through the blood of Jesus, you can make great advances towards God. To be brought near to someone means that the person will relate with you. From now God will have many dealings with you! He will relate with you as a child and a friend.

5. Through the blood of Jesus you can now have communion with God.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not THE COMMUNION OF THE BLOOD of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

1Corinthians 10:16-17

Communion comes to us through the blood of Jesus Christ! This means that intimacy and deep relationships come to us through the blood of Jesus Christ. Communion is the intimate fellowship that we have with the Lord and other brethren through the blood of Jesus. It was when I found Christ that I had meaningful intimate relationships with other Christians. The communion and fellowship I found in Christ is one of the most precious gifts I have enjoyed by being born again. Many people in the world do not have great intimate relationships. Worldly relationships are usually based on money, power or sex. These worldly relationships often end up in disaster. Through the blood of Jesus, we are privileged to enjoy a special kind of relationship. It is called ‘communion through the blood’. We are linked through the blood of Jesus.

In the human body, the toes, the kidneys, the heart and the brain are linked by blood. In the same way, the blood of Jesus links us with God and with the rest of the body of Christ. Through the blood of Jesus, we have communion with God and a relationship with other members of the body of Christ. Communion through the blood of Jesus Christ! Intimacy through the blood of Jesus Christ! Fellowship through the blood of Jesus Christ!

6. Through the blood of Jesus, we have a covenant with God.

He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD OF THE COVENANT, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Hebrews 10:28-29

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through THE BLOOD OF THE EVERLASTING COVENANT.

Hebrews 13:20

The blood of Jesus is called the blood of the covenant. This is because we are now able to actually have a covenant with God. Imagine that! A real agreement and covenant between a wretched sinner and Almighty God. This is the special advantage that you and I now have. There is now a divine contract and a solemn agreement that binds you forever to God and to heaven.

This wonderful privilege of having a covenant with God has angered Lucifer so much. He cannot believe that we will have such a relationship with Jehovah. We must value the privilege God has given to us that we might come so close to Him and have such access to Him.
