Before the Throne of Grace

No greater privilege has been proffered mankind than the solemn opportunity to step personally into the Throne room of Heaven to address the God of the universe in personal conversation. It is utterly amazing that such a privilege has been ignored, abused, misused and misunderstood by so many. The divine invitation is clearly expressed in scripture. We are invited to speak as a child to the Father. Entrance to God's presence is available through the mediation of the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. To aid us in coveying our burden to the Father, the Holy Spirit readily intercedes on our behalf. The time of prayer is not to be taken lightly, but because of entrance to prayer in Jesus' name we are encouraged to come with boldness and confidence. Thankfully in this age, God's throne is portrayed as a throne of grace and we can come before Him at any time with the certainty of His love, compassion, interest and understanding as He receives our praises and petitions. Too many have by-passed biblical instruction on prayer and thereby missed the intended blessings that await the humble saint who comes--Before the Throne of Grace."Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Hebrews 4:16
