In building a measure of faith, we must make sure that our lives are continuously connected with the reality of God’s presence, because this is the key and even the essence of the Christian life itself.
So, every time we pray, worship and even carry out our daily activities, it’s common that we always find there is a divine touch that gives us peace and joy, and even changes the conditions of our lives to be more aligned with His Word!
Basically, God really loves us and longs for a healthy and strong relationship to be built or established between us and Him. Because even though He is the Creator of heaven and earth, He is also willing to call Himself the Father, and we are His children (Romans 8:14-17).
So naturally, with faith because of Christ’s perfect redemption for our lives, with boldness and joy we can approach or approach the throne of His glory.
Roman 5:1-2 (NKJV) Therefore, HAVING BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH WHOM ALSO WE HAVE ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Hebrews 10:19-22 (NKJV) Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews 4:16 (NKJV) Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Through Christ’s sacrifice, we have been given an open way of entry or access so that we can meet face to face with the Father in heaven.
The analogy is like an escalator ladder where it will automatically take us to the floor above without us having to try to climb it, only by standing on one of the steps. Likewise, by approaching the throne room of the Father in heaven, with faith in Christ’s sacrifice, He will bring us to be reconciled and reunited with the Father in heaven.
Because the Father no longer looks at all our sins and weaknesses, but the perfect sacrifice of Christ. He no longer remembers our mistakes and transgressions, but He longs for us to offer our lives for Him and for the glory of His kingdom.
Through the prayers that we raise to God’s presence, there will be intense interactions as well as being a means for God to pour out all the spiritual dimensions we need in our daily lives as a manifestation of His mercy and grace.
There should be no more empty, lukewarm and flat spiritual life. Every day there is always the splendor of His presence in our lives! Let it be done!
