In this brief sermon, the speaker highlights the unique, intimate relationship Moses had with God—described in Scripture as a face‑to‑face communion that allowed Moses unrestricted access to the Holy of Holies. The speaker contrasts this with the limited access granted to the high priest, who could enter the Holy of Holies only once a year, and points to the tearing of the temple veil at Jesus’ death as a divine act that removed the barrier between God and humanity. The central claim is that God desires a relationship with people that mirrors Moses’ intimacy, but this relationship is contingent upon love, because “God is love.” The speaker urges listeners to approach God with love, emphasizing that love is the essential prerequisite for any genuine connection with the divine.

Chapters

In the Bible, it talks about Moses's relationship with God being face to face. It was intimate. God talked to Moses face to face with the veil torn down. He was the only one allowed to go into the Holy of Holies anytime he wanted. Everyone else— only the high king, only the high priest was able to go in once a year. So imagine the relationship that Moses had with God, and that's the relationship God wants with us. The Holy of the Holies, the veil, it's torn. It was torn from the top to the bottom. Here's a 30-foot curtain that was ripped by God when Jesus died. And so our relationship with him can be exactly like Moses. But in order to have a relationship with God, you have to have love, because God is love. There is no relationship around other things unless there's love. That's the difference in how you can approach God. Approach God with love, because he approaches you. God bless.
