No excuse, all access pass to God

Hebrews 8:10-12
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
11No longer will a man teach his neighbor,
or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,'
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more."

Here are four marks of the fulfillment of God's new covenant with His people in His restored kingdom. First, by the Holy Spirit, God's Word is written on our hearts rather than on stone tablets as the Ten Commandments. Second, we are granted a direct relationship with God and are no longer required to go through a human priesthood in order to connect with Him. Third, we no longer need Pharisees, Sadducees and prophets to interpret and teach God's Word for His Holy Spirit dwells within us and illuminates Christ, reminding us of His teaching (John 14:26). Finally, there is no need for a sacrificial system or tradition because the Lamb of God has paid a perfect and eternal sacrifice for sin; past, present and future. All of the tools and traditions once required to connect with God have been replaced by a direct, personal and powerful relationship with God Himself through Jesus Christ. There is now no excuse for not connecting with Him; He has removed every barrier. There is no guilt, shame, ignorance or impurity that can keep me from my Creator.

Father - draw me close to You daily and remind me of this access. Forgive and remove my guilt, shame and timidity and let me come boldly before Your throne. I want to know You more. Amen.
