YOU HAVE COME TO MOUNT ZION AND TO THE CITY OF THE LIVING GOD (Hebrews 12:22) We, as believers, do not come to a tangible mountain on earth, Our privilege is to enter the sanctuary in heaven. By faith, we approach God in confession, praise, and prayer. We are not limited to one day of the year, but may enter the holiest at any time with the knowledge that we are always welcome. God no longer says "Stay at a distance." He says "Come near with confidence." Law has its Mount Sinai but faith has its Mount Zion. This heavenly mountain symbolizes the combined blessings of grace - all that is ours through the redeeming work of Christ Jesus. Law has its earthly Jerusalem but faith has its heavenly capital above. The city of the living God is in heaven; the city which has the foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God. As we enter the presence of God we are surrounded by myriads of angels.
