Sometimes we make it harder than it is.

I just learned today that under the New Arrangement I don't have to confess my sins before I come to God.  Practically speaking, how could I anyway, identify all the substandard attitudes from down deep?  And how would I have time to do anything else all day long?  But more to the point, the statements about "drawing near" say nothing about remembering and confessing my sins, once I've been sprinkled with the blood of Jesus.  This gives me "...a purified conscience...the one indispensable condition for offering God acceptable worship..." (F F Bruce, The Letter to the Hebrews, pxii).
