The Veil of the Temple was Torn

"And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom." (Mark 15:37-38)

Human beings are three fold beings, body, soul, and spirit. However, when Adam fell, the human spirit collapsed and died, resulting in the terrible condition that they are not functioning in three fold but only two. This causes destination disease. No matter how they succeed, achieve, and/or possess, there is no full satisfaction, no happiness, no fulfillment, but just empty shell and frustration. Why? It's because the human spirit died in transgressions and sins. But Christ died for our sins in our place and opened a way to enter into the long forbidden area, the Holy of holies, through the faith in Him. Now, in Christ, the believers can function in three fold because we are made spiritually alive. But we do not automatically grow in fully functioning maturity. To grow, feeding the proper food and doing exercise are necessary. The food is the word of God and the exercise, faith.
