Because of

If you study the Old Testament and specifically the original temple where the people of Israel worshipped God you learn that their was a veil between the temple and what was called the Holy of Holies where the presence of God resided and the Ark of the Covenant sat.  I was reading Psalms chapter 5 and there's this very simple yet significant verse.  7."Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your temple with deepest awe."  This is a Psalm of David and when I say I find it significant there's a reason for that.  David says "Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house."  Even as a king he could only go so far into the temple.  If you read about the crucifixion you learn that the veil separating the temple and the Holy of Holies was torn in two that day.  Jesus Christ poured out his life on the cross because of the unfailing love of God.  Now consider that in the context of what King David said many years prior about entering the temple.  Because of God's unfailing love which was provided by Christ's sacrifice when we pray we can enter the throne room of the King of Kings.  Now consider Ephesians 2:6 "For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus."  Hebrews 10:19-22 also shows us we have access because of Christ's sacrifice.  Access that is 24/7 365 days a year.  

"You are I Am and i am because you are."
