Ed Wrather emphasizes the importance of confessing our sins to God, highlighting that He is faithful and righteous to forgive us and cleanse us from unrighteousness. Using the story of Darrell Lewis, who turned himself in for a bank robbery, the sermon illustrates the significance of coming to God with repentance and humility. The sermon emphasizes that we can confidently approach God through Jesus to confess our sins, unlike in the Old Testament where access to God was limited. Through Jesus, we now have direct access to God as His children, and He is always ready to hear our confessions and requests without delay.

The preacher delves into the significance of the veil (katapetasma) in the Bible, particularly in the tabernacle and temple, as a separation between the Most Holy Place and the Holy Place, symbolizing the presence of God. The tearing of the veil at Jesus' crucifixion signifies the opening of God's presence to mankind through Christ's sacrifice, granting believers access to God. The veil represents Christ's flesh, which when torn, provided a new and living way for believers to enter God's presence. The sermon emphasizes the importance of faith as an anchor of the soul, keeping believers steady amidst life's storms and uncertainties.
