Hiding from God?

        The following is the seventh in a series of eight of the benefits & blessings God has bestowed upon every one of His children:

Hiding from God’s Presence need no longer be a concern for you, even when your behavior is most despicable, because God chose to give to you unconditional, confident access into His Presence, as is evidenced by this: Since therefore, brethren, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water (Hebrews 10:19-22). In other words, you can now feel comfortable in God’s Presence even when you are doing the most despicable sin you can imagine. Never again do you have try to hide from Him!

          Yes, I know these verses sound too good to be true, and most of the time when something sounds too good to be true, it is; however, this is an exception. As a believer, you really do not have to hide from God’s Presence ever again! You can cease thinking that He is out to get you because you have committed some sin(s), or for any other reason, for that matter!

          My dear friend, thinking that God is “out to get you” is Old Covenant thinking! Thinking that you have to hide from God for any reason is Old Covenant thinking! You no longer live under the Old Covenant. In case you have forgotten, Jesus ushered in a new and better covenant, one with better promises, and He did it for your benefit and for His glory!
