At the entrance to the kingdom of God stands a demand for sacrifice. There is only one sacrifice which will satisfy, yet all may come because of the sufficiency of that sacrifice that is Christ.
The glory of God is rarely found on the outside or seen in a first impression. His glory is found by entering through the veil of Christ Jesus and coming to fellowship with God Himself among His church.
The glory and presence of God are reserved for a High Priest and His priesthood. By the blood of a better covenant we can draw near as the holy priesthood of Christ.
From our entry into the kingdom to the ongoing and eternal blessing we receive as citizens, it's all secured for us through our faith in the faithfulness of Christ.
