…”For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them [Jer. 31:33],”then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more [Jer. 31:34].” Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering [needed] for sin.
“Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Nothing chills the heart of man like passing through death’s gate,
Yet to him who enters daily, death’s a glorious fate.
Dearly beloved we have gathered here to be a holy bride
And to daily cross death’s threshold to the holy life inside.
Chorus:
Enter in, enter in
Surrender to the Spirit’s call to die and enter in.
Enter in, find peace within,
The holy life awaits you, enter in.
The conflict still continues, raging deep within my soul,
The Spirit wars against my flesh in a struggle for control.
My only hope is full surrender, so with each borrowed breath,
I inhale the Spirit’s will for me to die a deeper death.
(chorus)
If mourners should lament, then let them weep for those alive,
For only when self-will is killed can my soul survive.
Enter in, enter in,
Surrender to the Spirit’s call to die and enter in.
Enter in, find peace within,
The holy life awaits you, abundant life is waiting for you,
The holy life awaits you,–
Enter in, enter in.
Enter In, by Jon Mohr, Steve Green, and Greg Nelson
