Romans 5:2
2Through him we have also aobtained access by faith ▼▼Some manuscripts omit by faith
into this grace cin which we stand, and dwe ▼▼Or let us; also verse 3
rejoice ▼▼Or boast; also verses 3, 11
in hope of the glory of God. Ephesians 2:18
18For gthrough him we both have haccess in ione Spirit to the Father.Hebrews 7:25
25Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost ▼▼That is, completely; or at all times
kthose who draw near to God lthrough him, since he always lives mto make intercession for them. Hebrews 9:3
3Behind nthe second curtain was a second section ▼▼Greek tent; also verses 6, 8
called the Most Holy Place, Hebrews 9:7-8
7but into the second only pthe high priest goes, and he but qonce a year, and not without taking blood, rwhich he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. 8By this the Holy Spirit indicates that sthe way into the holy places is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standingHebrews 9:12
12he tentered uonce for all into the holy places, not by means of vthe blood of goats and calves but wby means of his own blood, xthus securing an eternal redemption.Hebrews 9:23-25
23Thus it was necessary for ythe copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ has entered, not into holy places zmade with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God aaon our behalf. 25Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as abthe high priest enters acthe holy places every year with blood not his own,1 John 2:1-2
Christ Our Advocate
1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, adwe have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 aeHe is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but afalso for the sins of the whole world.
