God Forbid that We Should be Indifferent

A Surpassingly Blessed Situation
By Fred O. Blakely

Having our "hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water," or, having believed in Jesus and been baptized into Him, we are to confidently enter the heavenly throne room over the "new and living way" thus consecrated for us "through the veil" (KJV). This is, indeed, a surpassingly blessed situation—the one anticipated by the Prophets and prefigured by the types and shadows of the Jewish institutions (Heb. 8:1-33; 11:39-40; I Pet. 1:10-12). God forbid that we should be indifferent to it, or fail to fully avail ourselves of the heavenly fellowship and blessing which it offers.
