We Have Access!

Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

The word “access” is found only three times in the N.T. (Rom. 5:1-2; Eph. 2:18, Eph. 3:12). These three passages teach us four things about access.

1. We have access into grace (Rom. 5:2) God’s throne is the throne of grace (Heb 4:16).

2. We have access unto the Father (Eph. 2:18). Though He is sovereign, we can still approach Him as a child does a father (Luke 11:11-13, Rom. 8:15).

3. We have access through Jesus Christ (I Tim. 2:5). The blood gives us boldness (Heb. 10:19).

4. We have access by our faith (Rom. 5:2; Eph 3:12). The essential ingredient is prayer (Heb. 10:22).
