What does the Bible say about entering the presence of God?

Hebrews 10:19 emphasizes the incredible privilege that believers have to enter into the holiest place, the very presence of God, with boldness. This access is granted 'by the blood of Jesus,' highlighting that it is His sacrificial death that provides a way for sinners to approach a holy God. Previously, only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year, and that was only with a blood sacrifice. In Christ, every believer is afforded this access, illustrating the complete and total remission of sin that comes through His blood.
