We have boldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of jesus by a new and living Way, Hebrew 10.20. The reason of this is, First, the Wisdom and Goodness of our God, who when man by the fallen was banished from his presence and could have no more immediate fellowship with him, hath appointed a Mid-man for reconciliation to stand betwixt him & man, that the friendship which could not immediately be kept, might be renewed & continued by such a mediation: 1 Tim. 2.4. I Here is one God and one Mediator betwixt God and man, the man christ Iesus; Hebrew 8.6. He is the Mediator of a better Covenant which was established upon better promises.
However we have promises that God wil be our God, and will receive us as his people that he will remember our sins no more, that he will give us an eternall inheritance;
However we have promises that God will be our God, and will receive us as his people that he will Remember our Sins no more, that he will give us an Eternal inheritance;
