ACCESS

From the moment we receive Jesus Christ as Savior, unrestricted access to God is secured. 

But, sadly ... Though believers are given the glorious privilege of having an intimate relationship with the Lord, many fail to abide in Him. The price paid on Calvary's cross was far too great for us to merely experience an 'arm's length' association with God.  

The three Persons of the Trinity operate in concert to establish a way for us to come into His presence ... Through Christ, we have access by the Holy Spirit to the Father. (Ephesians 2:18) 

1. Christ
Without a Redeemer, mankind could have never approached the throne of God. The Son laid down His perfect life as a ransom for your sin-laden one. Jesus made it clear ... I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:6) 

2; The Holy Spirit 
His divine power personally applies the ministry of Christ to your life. By Him, access to the Father is established and the Son is glorified ... The Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you. (John 14:26)

3. The Father 
Since He determined the very means by which we can be saved. Why would you shy away from His presence? For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) 

A loving Father, an atoning Son, and a ministering Spirit all work toward the same end - that we might enter into His presence without fear

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16

Draw near to God, pilgrim. He'll flood your weary soul with His steadfast love.
