We are professed Christians, and yet are we still nervous about entering into the presence of God? Do all the sins in our lives come flooding back, and beads of sweat pop out on our foreheads at just the thought of meeting with the Creator of the Universe? This was the kind of concern the Jews who served in the temple had, and so much so that the priests who were tasked with going into the Holy of Holies would have a rope tied around them... just in case they were struck dead and their body had to be recovered. Yet we are told not to fear because we are cleansed in the blood of Christ; the perfect sacrifice... the Lamb of God. So why are we so nervous?

You are a Christian, but are there certain sins that you feel are holding you captive? Is your faith suffering because of some stubborn sinful behavior that you just can’t shake loose from? Sometimes we can begin to feel like a sin is holding us hostage, and that there is nothing we can do to escape it, but that is simply untrue because we have been crucified with Jesus, and in Him our sins have been brought to naught. We have been emancipated… set free from the bondage of sin.
