redeemed and you will be reconciled to relationship with God to dwell with him forever and ever and ever. So that Hebrews 10, 19, therefore brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places, wait a minute, not just Jesus entering the holy places, we, you and I, with all our sin can enter into the presence of God himself. How's that possible? By the blood of Jesus. By the new and living way he opened for us through the curtain, that is through his flesh, his body that he gave on a cross. And since we have a great priest over the house of God, let's draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience, our bodies washed with pure water.

Their problem was not what they were centering themselves and their conversation and their thoughts and their feelings around. They were centering themselves around the presence of the Lord.

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Yeah, there's a washing, but it's not the same. This is a washing from the inside out. This is not just clean up your garments on the outside and observe a few rules before you come into the presence of Almighty God, this is be changed from the inside out.
