For Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus.

---

This verse says that we have confidence and courage to enter the most holy place as a result of Jesus shedding His blood for us. That implies complete freedom to go about our day without wondering if God is for us. Believers are bold and confident because we have direct access to the Most High God by the blood of Jesus.

The Message Bible says: So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place." Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice?.

All day long God is thinking about us in a good and supportive way. We have free access to the presence of God. We have His ear. We have His word. We can expect Him to help us with daily living because we have His heart. It's a fact. And it's all provided because of the blood of Jesus and the love of God.

Today's Thought to Take With You:

I have entrance into the holy places of God by the blood of Jesus. I have confidence that God is for me and not against me today.
