Throne of Grace
We have an Open Invitation into His Presence….
We’ve all messed up.
We’ve all done things, seen things, and said things we regret.
And We’ve all sinned—ignoring God’s commands and rebelling against His ways and we know it, too.
This is because God gave us the ability to discern right from wrong.
His Word reveals His righteousness and magnifies our lack and need for Him.
The bad news is our sin separates us from a holy God.
But the good news is Jesus has already bridged the gap.

We have an Open Invitation into His Presence….
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, lived the perfect life we couldn’t and died the brutal death we should’ve—becoming the final and ultimate sacrifice.
He’s paid our debt, cleared our names, and defeated death itself by rising back to life.
And now, as the author of Hebrews suggests, we have an open invitation into His presence…
Hebrews 4:14-15 NIV
14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.
Hebrews 4:16 NIV
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Let Us Pray
God, please show me how to approach You with confidence.
I know that You care for me. I know that You love me, but sometimes—I doubt my worthiness.
Please replace my doubts with bold assurance that I belong to You, and You long to hear from me. Here I am—please help me.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
