Approach the Throne of Grace with Confidence!

Approach the Throne of Grace with Confidence!

Dear Viewers and Followers of Jesus Christ

Greetings Once Again!

I greet you in the mighty and gracious name of our Saviour, the Messiah Lord Jesus Christ, and thank you for taking time to read this week’s short: Weekly Devotion for 14-20 February 2016, by the Wisdom of God Church Online.

Scripture!

Our guiding text is written in Hebrews 4:14-16 NIV:

14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.

15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weakness, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--- yet was without sin.

16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

Devotion Lesson

Beloved in the Lord, this week we are blessed to see the grace of God through this beautiful selection by the Spirit of God, as it is written in Hebrews we are reminded this week that Jesus Christ our High Priest is inviting us to freely approach the throne of grace with confidence. Amen!

We know that a priest is a mediator between us and God. If we look from an earthly prospect, we would say a priest is like an attorney trying proof our innocence, yet Satan has been a cruel prosecutor reporting all our transgression without mercy.

God saw we are perishing because of Satan, so he sent his only begotten son to safe the world. Satan was thrown out of heaven (Revelation 12) and now Jesus Christ has liberated us from Satan’s accusations, meaning we have won the case with our faithful lawyer Jesus Christ--- had gone the extra mile to pay the ransom (with his blood) for all accusation made against us by Satan. Hallelujah!

The reason why Jesus Christ came to face the world in flesh was so that he would go through the same temptations, trials and tribulations that we face here on earth.

You see, Jesus Christ through him coming and facing the world had reprogrammed the worlds order of Law-Sin-Judgment (to death) to Law-Sin-Grace (to Life), meaning, he ensured us grace through sin, that we may see hope in Jesus Christ through confessing his name.

Jesus regarded it fair to experience all that we will face on earth, with himself before he could allow the final judgment on us (judgment for sin against the Spirit of God).

Through self-experimenting Jesus Christ would now not judge on sin alone, but would consider our transgressions are transferable for righteousness if we approach the throne of grace (obedience to the Spirit of God). Glory to God!

The big deal here is, that he only did not come to experience it, but to take the blame of all our sins, for all time sake and be crucified as if he had sinned himself, in order that we may be forgiven though confessing his name.

The bible says we are redeemed, a price is paid for us to never feel as sinners, but to know we have received grace and mercy through Jesus Christ.

From an earthly perspective that would mean (Satan) the prosecutor was relieved from his duty of prosecuting, because of conflicting interest (Satan himself wanted us to perish) and although we are found guilty to some extend --- our mediator Jesus Christ has paid enormously, that we are freed forever.

Yet all the Son of God wants in return is, that we must remember what he did for us on the cross and to approach the Throne of Grace with confidence in his name. Glory!

   

If the past week, past month or the past year(s) you were worried about a terrible mistake you have made, something that keeps causing you to fall away from worshipping in fullness, be assured as you go this week, the case is closed. Jesus Christ has paid the fine on your behalf and through him you are now cleansed from all passed transgression.

Rejoice and be grateful, you have right to approach the Throne of Grace with Confidence. Hallelujah!

Let us pray:

Awesome God, Lord of everything that exist,

Thank you for a wonderful teaching this week, please make us see and understand what you have done for us on the cross and let us know that if we have accepted you and have confessed you as our Lord and Saviour, we can freely approach the Throne of Grace with confidence during this week and know that we are redeemed, no matter what we go through.

Guide us this week, through the power of Your Spirit and let us continue to see your greatness as we go through this week.

In the name of Jesus Christ,

Amen!

Have a fantastic Monday and the best week ahead. May God Bless You!
