The division by the veil: the only way to God

The Division by the Veil

 

          Look at the division by the veil; "And the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy" (Ex.26:33). The veil permitted limited access to God, but it also prevented access to Him until it was rent in two. Christ's earthly life was not an example to get into heaven; His death and resurrection opened the only way to God and heaven.

 

          The veil divided the place of worship and service from God's presence. For any worship to reach God, it must pass through Christ. Much prayer may be made, but it must be in Jesus' name in order to reach God. Many desire to approach God, but they will not get through to Him unless they go through the "one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim. 2:5). Jesus said it plainly, "I am the way, no man cometh unto the Father but by me" Jn 14:6. No one gets to heaven through a church, a creed or character, his good works or doing the best he can, but by Christ alone. "Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy, he saved us" Titus 3:5.

Prov. 14:12 "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death."

Recently, I gave a lady my tract, "Your ticket to Heaven." She read it that night and prayed the prayer at the end from her heart and Got saved and is rejoicing in the Lord today.
