Believers now have access into the 'holiest' the very presence of God through Jesus Christ. And, we not only have access, but we have 'boldness' to come before our God and Father as His children. Believers have become the very Temple of God, the dwelling place of God! This is a radically different relationship with God that was available to the Jews and the terms to describe this relationship have changed. We do not come before our Father with fear as humble subjects before the sovereign, we can now approach Him as our 'Abba Father.' This new relationship in no way diminishes the absolute omnipotence or holiness of God, but it allows us as His children to understand His love in a new and wonderful manner.
