“Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come fearlessly into God’s presence, assured of his glad welcome.” Ephesians 3:12
Do you know that feeling you get when your family or friends greet you at the door with a sweet loving welcome? It makes you feel loved, wanted and liked.
Do you feel that same loving welcome when you step foot into your Church? You should, and if you don’t, then we as brothers and sisters who are a part of that body should make some significant changes.
Christ is all about making His children feel loved and welcomed. He is the first to greet us personally. He is the first to wrap His arms around us. He is the first to let us know how happy He is that we are His. He is the first and only one who looks past the sin and sees our heart. He welcomes us just as we are and loves us unconditionally.
We are assured of that because of our faith in Him.
And because of our faith in Christ we can come fearlessly into His presence and know that He will be there to welcome us with loving arms.
Did you catch what Paul said? We can come fearlessly into His presence.
We can come to Him with confidence, boldness and assurance.
This gives me great peace. No matter what I have done, no matter the shame, I know that when I approach the Throne Room Christ will welcome me with loving arms.
There are no excuses for us, who are in Christ, to enter the Throne Room in fear. Christ took that away when He died for us.
God wants to visit with us. He wants us to come to Him and visit about anything and everything. He desires that one on one time with us.
Knowing now that we can enter His presence fearlessly we should be entering the Throne Room a whole lot more.
He is waiting!
Jesus You paved the way for us to enter the Most Holy Place
