Take advantage and receive what you need
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.
Leviticus 17:11
Leviticus 17:11 reveals one of the deepest truths in Scripture: it is impossible for sinful humanity to approach a holy, almighty God without atonement. God’s holiness is absolute. His purity is perfect. And sin creates a barrier that no human effort can cross.
But in His great mercy, God provided Israel with a way—the blood of animals. Through sacrifices, their sins were covered, allowing them to draw near, bring petitions, and receive God’s blessings. God accepted blood of animals as a temporary solution to forgive the sins of those approaching Him.
If the blood of animals can allow humanity to approach God with no barrier, How much more access do we have through the blood of Jesus?
The sacrifice of Christ is not temporary, but is eternal, perfect, and complete. Through His blood, the barrier of sin is torn down, the veil is forever removed.
We are invited not just to come near—but to come boldly. We are welcomed as sons and daughters, not distant worshipers.Today, because of Jesus, you can approach God freely, confidently, joyfully, and expectantly. Every blessing comes from His presence—so without approaching God, there can be no true blessing.
We have an open door, always—through the finished work of Christ. So take advantage and come. Come with your needs. Come with your burdens. Come with your dreams.
Come to the Father who now sees you through the blood of His Son—clean, accepted, beloved.
Reflection:
Am I fully taking advantage of the access I have to God through Jesus? Do I approach God expecting to receive, or do I hesitate because of guilt or fear? Do I realize that every blessing flows from drawing near to God?
Prayer:
Heavenly Father,
I thank You for the precious blood of Jesus that gives me full access into Your presence.
Thank You that through His sacrifice, every barrier of sin has been removed and I can approach You freely, confidently, and without fear.
Help me never to take this privilege lightly.
Draw my heart daily to seek You, for I know that without coming into Your presence, there is no true blessing.
Teach me to ask boldly, to worship sincerely, and to walk closely with You.
May the power of the blood of Jesus continually remind me that I am forgiven, accepted, and loved.
In Jesus’ mighty name I pray, Amen
