How did the veil's tearing affect access to God?

Answered in 1 source

The tearing of the veil opened direct access to God's presence for all believers, unlike the previous covenant where access was restricted.

The tearing of the veil had a profound effect on access to God, transforming how believers relate to Him. Under the old covenant, access to God was incredibly limited; only the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place, and that only once a year. However, with Christ's sacrificial death, the veil symbolically being torn means that every believer now has unrestricted access to God. Hebrews 10:19-21 emphasizes this newly established 'living way' through Christ's flesh, enabling us to approach God with confidence. This access to the Holy of Holies signifies that all believers, regardless of their background or moral standing, can come to God directly, embrace His grace, and find mercy.
