Heavenly Access

Heavenly access refers to the believer's ability to approach God and enter into His presence through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing the relationship restored through the atonement.

In the Old Testament, access to God was limited to the high priest entering the Holy of Holies once a year. The New Testament reveals that through Christ's sacrifice, all believers can now approach God directly.
