Scripture

Hebrews 9

24 For Christ did not enter into a holy place made with human hands, which was only a copy of the true one in heaven. He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf.

25 And he did not enter heaven to offer himself again and again, like the high priest here on earth who enters the Most Holy Place year after year with the blood of an animal.

26 If that had been necessary, Christ would have had to die again and again, ever since the world began. But now, once for all time, he has appeared at the end of the age to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice.


27 And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment,

28 so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.


Observation

Heaven is a perfect place. You and I are not perfect. How can we as sinners enter into a place were God does not allow sin?

Jesus took care of that problem when He provided the perfect sacrifice. He died to remove sin by his own death as a sacrifice.

All of us are going to die and we are all going to face judgment. Will you go to heaven or hell when you die? It depends totally on whether you are putting your faith and trust in Jesus to take away your sins. He died once and He has now entered into the perfect Most Holy Place and he is interceding on behalf of all of those that have placed their trust in Him.

If you were to die today, where would you spend eternity? Heaven or Hell?

Application

The Gospel message is for everyone. I want to boldly share my faith this week.

Pray

Heavenly Father, give me the boldness and the desire to share my faith with people this week. I pray that You continue to save people that are attending our worship services. I pray that Your Holy Spirit would continue to bring conviction to everyone that attends our church today.
