Why is the rent veil significant for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The rent veil signifies our direct access to God, affirming that Christ's sacrifice allows believers to approach the throne of grace boldly.

The significance of the rent veil extends beyond a mere historical event; it represents the profound theological truth that as believers, we now have direct access to God. Before Christ, only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies once a year, and even then, not without blood. The tearing of the veil at Christ’s death carried the message that His sacrifice fulfilled the requirements of the old covenant and established a new way for believers to enter God’s presence. This access is grounded in the righteousness of Christ, granted to us by faith, and reflects God’s desire to dwell with His people without the barriers that once existed due to sin. Therefore, Christians can approach God confidently, knowing that they are accepted in the beloved and their sins are forgiven.
