We all need grace in our lives. We all make mistakes, or simply “blow it” at times. It’s at times like this that we need to remember the throne of grace. Many Christians do not know this, but we have the right and privilege to approach the throne of grace with confidence and without fear. When we do so, we will receive mercy for our failures and shortcomings. Not only that, but His mercy will also be available and present at the right time and moment. Hebrews 4:16 (AMP) says: “Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment]” Are you availing yourself of this grace, or are you too busy beating yourself up, not realizing that God’s throne of grace is available?
In Him, we overcome!
The Lord Jesus shared that we would experience difficulties in this life, but He emphatically let us know that in Him we have perfect peace and confidence. John 16:33 (AMPL) says: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” We can take courage in Him because He overcame the world. He has deprived the enemy of the power to harm us and has conquered him. Simply put, In Him, we overcome!
