We can approach God with confidence through Jesus Christ, who alone enables us to enter His presence.
Hebrews 4:16 encourages believers to approach the throne of grace with confidence, but this confidence is grounded in our access through Jesus Christ. The sermon emphasizes how Moses and Joshua’s ascent to the presence of God foreshadows the ultimate access we have through Christ. Since Christ has dealt with our sins, fulfilling God's justice and satisfying the law, we are invited to come boldly before God, shedding any false notions of self-righteousness. Understanding that our worthiness comes solely from Christ allows us to seek God confidently in prayer, worship, and daily living.
