Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Yesterday we spoke about temptation and sin.
Today let’s take a look at God’s grace and mercy for us when we do stumble and sin.
When Jesus died on the cross, the veil of the temple was torn in two. This is one of the most significant things that happened on that day!
Why? Because the veil of the temple was a heavy divider between God and man. Gods spirit dwelt inside, behind that veil. Man couldn’t enter into that area unless he went through a very tough cleansing process.
And even then, some people who entered never made it out alive. Despite their cleansing process, they missed something or had sin in their life that wasn’t accounted for. And because of this, they died when they encountered God’s presence.
When that veil was torn, it meant that we now have open access to God, without fear of reprisal or death, because the blood of Jesus has made us righteous in His sight.
This is a big deal!!
So, now if we sin, we don’t have to worry about God striking us dead. Because His mercy and grace are readily available to us just by approaching Him and asking for them.
If we’ve messed up, we need not shrink back and hide. God has made it possible for us to approach Him boldly and seek His grace and mercy!
So don’t wait! Go to Him! Approach His throne boldly!
