Rom. 5: 1-11-- (1) Access follows two things mentioned in verse 1. What are they?

Scripture that shows that sin banishes from the presence of God?

that the believer will be "with" Christ in glory.

Heb. 10: 1-24--
(1) What does this passage say about the "conscience"?
(2) Write out the verses which contain the words "No more".
