It's Personal预览

Sometimes when we approach God we feel stuck because of our past mistakes, or due to the shame we heap on ourselves for not getting it right when we know we should have done better. But the writer of Hebrews uses a word to describe how we should approach God—with confidence. Other translations say “boldly”. And the Greek word used means to have a kind of freedom in your speech, to be fearless.

In other words, we don’t have to hold anything back when it comes to God. No matter our past mistakes, God still welcomes all of us. Our sin may make us think we can’t approach God confidently, but God doesn’t see things that way at all.

Because of the grace extended to us, we have every reason to always be confident in our relationship with God and that God is always eager to give us the help we need for any situation or circumstance.
