NO MIDDLE MAN NEEDED ANYMORE

Ephesians 3:12

". . . in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him." ESV

There was a time when only the high priest could go into the Holy of Holies, where God dwelt. Jesus Christ's sacrifice, death, and resurrection changed that forever. Each one of us can go straight to God, feeling confident that He will accept us and allow us to be in His presence. Do we realize what a privilege and honor it is? Do we realize how much it cost our Lord so that we can have this honor?

Lord, what an amazing act of love You gave so that we can come directly to You anytime. The curtain has been torn down and we can come boldly into Your presence. We praise You and thank You for Your great love. In Your name we pray, Amen.

ROYAL PASS

 

Hebrews 4:16

 

"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we might receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." ESV

 

 

Jesus Christ was God who became a human, lived among us, and faced the same trials and temptations we face. Unlike us, He lived His life here without sinning. He knew why He came. Because He resisted the human nature, we can come right to the throne of the Father with confidence, not fear. We can receive mercy and grace whenever we ask for it.

 

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Son, who knows what it's like to live in this world and did it without sin. We are in awe of the grace and mercy You pour out so that we can come directly to Your throne. Help us to always remember it is because of what Jesus Christ did for us that allows us to come. In His name we pray, Amen.

WORK GUARANTEED

 

Philippians 1:6

"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." NIV

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." KJV

We are so blessed to have our God who takes each of us in our new life in Him and works with us individually to help us mature into seasoned saints. How much more blessed we are that He is continuing to build His Body, the Church, until she is without spot or wrinkle and that He took each one of us into His Body when we first believed. As His body of believers, we have an eternal guarantee that He will complete the work in us that He planned from the foundation of time.

Heavenly Father, how grateful we are to be a part of Your family, Christ's body, the Church. Thank you for the assurance that You will keep working with us so that we will be the Bride that Christ is expecting when He comes for Her. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

CONFIDENT & SECURE

The Lord God has told us He would never leave nor forsake us. Our faith
in His words gives us full confidence in His being all powerful. No matter what people do to us, no matter what the plans and behaviors of others do to us, God's strength is far more powerful. Though it seems the Lord does not see or care, trust him! He is working and He will take care of you. The strength of men is limited and they cannot overpower our God.


Read Hebrews 13:6

"So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?'" (NIV)

"So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear
what man shall do unto me." (KJV)

PERSEVERE

Because living in this world is difficult, hurtful, and wearisome, it
is easy for us to become lax, complacent, or weak in our Christian
walk. Rather than focusing on how bad things are and questioning
God, it will be to our advantage to keep ourselves in God's hands,
trusting Him. Perseverance will insure that we receive the rewards
God has for us.

Read Hebrews 10:35,36

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God,
you will receive what he has promised." (NIV)

"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence
of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the
will of God, ye might receive the promise." (KJV)
