…Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him. -Ephesians 3:11
Just because I have the right to come before God with boldness and confident access by the blood of Jesus does not mean that I should appear before Him unimpressed.
Access to someone, and proper acknowledgement of them, are completely different things.
We are being fools if we think we can just wander into His presence without acknowledging the greatness of who He is!
Yes, He has given you free and complete access to Him. There is never a moment when His door is closed to you. But don’t let that easy access cause you to ever take Him for granted. He is the Lord Of Glory and we need to make sure that we never forget that!
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth. -1 Chronicles 16:29-30
