Having, therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having our heart sprinkled (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 for ever purged our sins by himself; for by one offering he has perfected for ever, them that are sanctified. Hebrews 10:14. And to this sprinkling of the blood of Christ, all believers, even the weakest, are come, that is to say he has the forgiveness of sins, in his blood. This is the element and life; thus he lives by the faith of the Son of God, who also loved him, always applying 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 quickening power.
And joys that never fail.
O happy souls! O glorious state
Of overflowing grace!
To dwell so near their Father’s seat,
And see his lovely face.
