Come at Jesus Boldly

"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4: 16)

Jesus calls us to come at Him boldly

Why can we do this?

Because in Christ, all our sins have been forgiven:

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:" (Colossians 1: 14)

We have, present tense, this redemption, in Jesus' blood:

"And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel." (Hebrews 12: 24)

Jesus' blood, present tense, speaks better things over us: not curses, but blessings; not vengeance, but forgiveness.

And this blood is still cleansing us:

"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1: 7)

We are in the Light, because God is Light (1 John 1: 5), and because of Jesus, we are also all Sons of Light (1 Thessalonians 5: 5).

We can come at Jesus boldly and receive, and keep receiving His favor, because we are forever cleansed from all sin, forever!
