BOLDNESS TO ENTER INTO THE HOLIEST --- Hebrews 10:19-22.

"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, etc., let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our hearts spinkled (with the blood of Christ, by which he once entered into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us, and purged our consciences from dead works to serve the living God) from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water." --- Hebrews 10:19-22.

Christ has purged our sins by himself; For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified," verse 14. And to this sprinkling of the blood of Christ all believers, even the weakest, are to come, in order to receive the forgiveness of sins. And the blood is said to be sprinkled, to show the need of its application to the conscience by the Holy spirit. In this purple fountain the believer daily washes; it is his element and life.

Thus he lives, alwways appying his ransom to his soul, and pleading his merits before his heavenly Father, which keeps his conscience pure and easy.

They find access at every hour
To God within the veil;
Hence they derive a quick'ning power,
And joys that never fail.

O happy soul! O glorious state
O ever-flowing grace!
To dwell so near the Father's seat,
And see his holy face.
