Hebrews 4:16 (DARBY), “Let us approach therefore, with boldness to the throne of grace”. 

I remember well the day when I came home from school, pushed open the front door, walked into the kitchen area, and went straight into the fridge for a Diet Coke. From there, I went into the living room where my dad was sitting, I gave him a big hug, and then said, “Dad, can we go the park at the weekend?” 

I entered the house with boldness; I approached my father with boldness, because I have been born into the family. 

My friend, how much more the believer, when we have been born through Jesus Christ, into the family of God? How much more shall we approach the throne of grace, where our Heavenly Father is seated? How much more shall we approach Him to ask something of Him, all because we have been born-again, born into the family?  We need not fear, nor feel that we should approach our ABBA Father with caution, but we boldly approach Him, with love, respect and our heart-felt gratitude, because of all that He has done for us, so that we might have that freedom to approach the throne of grace with confidence and boldness, knowing God as our ABBA Father. 

No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;

Alive in Him my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold, I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown, through Christ my own. 

God bless you my friend, Matthew.
