Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-27 Matthew 27:51, Just as the Old Testament high priest passed through the curtain to enter the Most Holy Place, we "enter" heaven only through Christ's flesh. Christ's body and soul were divided in death as the curtain of the temple was torn (Mt 27:51). The torn curtain continues to remain open as our way into heaven. -- Christ's cleansing sacrifice strengthens our conscience and we see the certainty of God's mercy more clearly.-- Separately, God requires Christians to gather together to hear His Word preached, receive the Sacraments, pray, sing, and give thanks.-- Finally, the sin against the Holy Spirit, a challenging issue of interpretation, is defined here as the sin of unbelief.
