Beloved, when we came to Christ for salvation – with all the glorious things that such a “coming” entailed, and that I intend to discuss with this sermon – we at the same time also “came” to about seven additional entities – all as itemized in Heb. 12:22-24; to wit:  “But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written (or, enrolled) in heaven, and to God the Judge (or, Avenger) of all (i.e., all His people), and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the BLOOD OF SPRINKLING, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”  (Heb. 12:22-24).
 
Contrary to Satan’s accusations, God’s people do horrendous sins that attack their conscience, unlike the majority of people walking around (see 1 Timothy 4:2).  Committing …
 
Wars:
“Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”  (Rom. 8:34) Beloved, all these promises and privileges are ours, and we must continually be studying them, and claiming them as our own, and pleading them through the “BLOOD OF SPRINKLING,” even the last of the items listed as the things to which we “ARE COME,” Heb. 12:24.  Some look upon these blessed promises and privileges as nothing more than things dead and useless, and esteem it presumptuous to plead and claim an interest in them, or to expect accomplishment of them towards themselves.  BUT, this expressly contradicts the apostle, who affirms that we are “COME TO MOUNT ZION,” at a time when the earthly mount Zion was in a state of complete and utter ruin, destruction, and abandonment.   
 
Crimes:
GodSmack!
 
Beloved, it is a great mystery, and a glorious sight to the eyes of our sanctified understanding; to wit:  “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: the EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED.”  (Eph. 1:17,18) O, Beloved, do you see – i.e., have the eyes of your understanding been enlightened to see? – yonder in Heaven, the glorious sight of our dear Lord Jesus, – in fulfillment of all the types and shadows of the Old Testament – as our great High Priest – entering the holy of holies in Heaven, with a basin filled with his own precious blood – which He sprinkles on the Mercy Seat, and the covenant, and the people of His covenant, and in all particulars ratifies the Atonement for all the Elect – even for each and every one of those for whom He died – AND NOT A SINGLE ONE MORE. All this –  and much, much more – is held to our sanctified view – when we are told that we “are come unto…the BLOOD OF SPRINKLING, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.”  Heb. 12:22,24.  
 
Political Wranglings:
Looking at these events will generally get the soft-hearted lambs to pay heed, as a cautionary tale well-told.  Sometimes, it takes huge exhibitions of God’s Wrath to do it, though:
