Let Us Draw Nigh! by Andrew Murray

LET US DRAW NIGH 23
believe that that blood gives you, sinful and
feeble as you are, liberty, confidence, boldness
to draw nigh, to enter the very Holiest ? Yes,
believe it, that the blood, and the blood alone,
but the blood most surely, brings you into the very
presence, into the living and abiding fellowship,
of the everlasting God. And let your response to
God's message concerning the blood, and the
boldness it gives you, be nothing less than this,
that this very moment you go with the utmost
confidence, and take your place in the most
intimate fellowship with God. And if your
heart condemn you, or coldness or unbelief
appear to make a real entrance impossible, rest
not till you believe and prove to the full the
power of the blood in very deed to bring you
nigh.
Having boldness by the blood of Jesus,
let us draw near I
1. Which is now greater in your sight: your sin or the blood
of Jesus? There can be but one answer. Then draw nigh, and
enter in, into the Holiest of All. As your sin has hitherto kept
you bach, let the blood now bring you nigh. And the blood will
give you the boldness and the power to abide.
2. " One drop of that blood, coming out of the Holiest on
the soul, perfects the conscience, makes that there is no more
conscience of sin, and enables us to Hue in the fellowship of God
and His Son. Such a soul, sprinkled with the blood, is able to
enjoy the heavenly treasures, and to accomplish the heavenly
service of the living God."
3. And that blood, such is its heavenly cleansing power, can
keep the soul clean. " If we walk in the light, as He is in the
tight," if we live in the Holiest, in the light of His countenance.
