Have you “come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God”?

When you, in prayer, accept Jesus as your personal Savior, and/or when any true follower of Jesus prays — you have come to an awesome, almighty place of wonder and love.  Oh how marvelous!  Through prayer to Jesus:

— “you have come to Mount Zion
and to the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to myriads of angels [in festive gathering]….”
– Verse 22 of Hebrews 12:18-24.

Prayer now, with the new covenant made with us by Jesus, is not a fearful thing as it was in the Old Testament.

Verses 22-24 of Hebrews 12:18-24

“²² …you have come to Mount Zion and
to the city of the living God,
the heavenly Jerusalem,

and to myriads of angels [in festive gathering],

²³ and to the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn
who are registered [as citizens] in heaven,

and to God, who is Judge of all,

and to the spirits of the righteous
(the redeemed in heaven)
who have been made perfect
[bringing them to their final glory],

²⁴ and to Jesus,
the Mediator of a new covenant
[uniting God and man],

and to the sprinkled blood,
which speaks [of mercy],
a better and nobler and more gracious message
than the blood of Abel
[which cried out for vengeance].”
– Verses 22-24 of Hebrews 12:18-24

So, since – by prayer – we have come to such an awesome One and His Kingdom

^“25 See to it that you do not refuse [to listen to] Him
who is speaking [to you now].

For if those [sons of Israel] did not escape
when they refused [to listen to] him
who warned them on earth
[revealing God’s will],
how much less will we escape
if we turn our backs on Him
who warns from heaven?

²⁶ His voice shook the earth [at Mount Sinai] then,
but now He has given a promise, saying,
“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth,
but also the [starry] heaven.”

²⁷ Now this [expression],
“Yet once more,”
indicates the removal and
final transformation of all those things
which can be shaken
—that is, of that which has been created
—so that those things which cannot be shaken
may remain.

²⁸ Therefore, since we receive a kingdom
which cannot be shaken,
let us show gratitude,
and offer to God
pleasing service
and acceptable worship
with reverence and awe;
²⁹ for our God is [indeed]
a consuming fire.”
