The Throne of Grace

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16

In the Book of Revelation, the throne of God is presented in all its splendor and glory. From there Jesus Christ, our Lord, will reign forever. One day we will gather around His throne to worship Him in holiness and purity of spirit. But for now, how do we approach the awesome throne of God?

In the Old Testament, the Israelites believed God reigned from His holy mountain, Mt Sinai - a mountain they could neither approach nor touch without fear of death. The image of God’s mountain was connected with the keeping of the Law, for it was where God gave Moses the Ten Commandments.

However, when Jesus was born a new way to God was established. It was a way of salvation by grace and not by keeping of the law. God’s throne is a throne of grace. It is where divine love abides and reigns in majesty. It is a place where sins are forgiven and lives restored. It is a place of unconditional acceptance.

Jesus Christ is available to you any time and any place. Through prayer, you can boldly approach His throne. He is your loving Lord and is quick to cleanse and revive your hope. Draw near to Him and experience the wonder of His matchless grace. Take full advantage of your unlimited access to God today.
