Access

Access in a biblical context refers to the ability to approach God and enter into a relationship with Him, primarily made possible through Jesus Christ. This concept is foundational to understanding salvation and communion with God.

In the Old Testament, access to God was limited to the high priest and the Holy of Holies. The sacrificial system was a means to atone for sin, but it was not until Christ's sacrifice that all believers gained direct access to God.
