Immediate Access

Since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus. . . let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. —Hebrews 10:19, 22

If you or I were to walk up to the White House, there’s no way we could get in to see the President. But when we approach the throne room of the God of the universe, we have immediate access all the time. If you’re a child of God, you have access to God through Christ’s death on the cross.

To be able to call Him our Father means that when we approach Him, we don’t have to cower in fear. We can come in confidence and walk right up to Him. Through faith in Christ, we’re made children of God. Then we can be confident He will do as we ask in any matter that He has declared to be His will.

That doesn’t mean He will give us everything we ask for. But it does mean He will grant us anything that’s in accordance with His character, His will, and for our good.
