2 Chronicles 30:18-20 ESV
For a majority of the people, many of them from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover otherwise than as prescribed. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying, "May the good Lord pardon everyone who sets his heart to seek God, the Lord, the God of his fathers, even though not according to the sanctuary's rules of cleanness." And the Lord heard Hezekiah and healed the people.
This is so interesting. In the Old Testament many were struck dead for being unclean in religious ceremonies, but here a simple prayer led tograce overcoming law. This extends to us today. How many are shunned from the church because of the stain of sin? How many led to believe that sin hold them down from the heaven that Jesus invited us to? Don't get this wrong! Your never to far from the love of God.
