(Exodus 25:17-22, NLT)
“17 Then make the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—from pure gold. It must be 45 inches long and 27 inches wide.”
“18 Then make two cherubim from hammered gold, and place them on the two ends of the atonement cover.”
“19 Mold the cherubim on each end of the atonement cover, making it all of one piece of gold.”
“20 The cherubim will face each other and look down on the atonement cover. With their wings spread above it, they will protect it.”
“21 Place inside the Ark the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you. Then put the atonement cover on top of the Ark.”
“22 I will meet with you there and talk to you from above the atonement cover between the gold cherubim that hover over the Ark of the Covenant. From there I will give you my commands for the people of Israel.”
(Romans 3:24-25, ESV)
For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.”

“14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.”

“16 So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.”
