How can believers ascend into God's presence?

Believers are called to ascend into God's presence, and this ascent is achieved through faith in Christ. Just as Esther approached the king, believers approach God with confidence because they are clothed in Christ's righteousness. In prayer and worship, they lay their burdens before the throne of grace, fully assured that they will find favor. Faith is the means by which believers are accepted, enabling them to seek God's heart and hand for their needs. Therefore, the ascent to God’s presence is made possible through a relationship with Christ, who intercedes on their behalf.
