Boldly

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him” (Ephesians 3:12). These verses speak of coming to God boldly with our pressing needs—an act that pleases Him.

When God tells us to come boldly to His throne, with confidence, it is not a suggestion. It is His preference and it is to be heeded. How do we obtain this boldness, this access with confidence?

“The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16, kjv). The word effectual here comes from a Greek root word that means “a fixed position.” It suggests an immovable, unshakable mindset. Likewise, fervency speaks of a boldness built on solid evidence, absolute proof that supports your petition. Together these two words—effectual fervency—suggest “coming into God’s court fully convinced that you have a well-prepared case.” It is beyond emotional, pumped-up enthusiasm.

Such prayer can only come from a servant who searches God’s Word and is fully persuaded that the Lord is bound to honor it. It is important that none of us goes into God’s presence without bringing His Word with us. The Lord wants us to bring His promises, remind Him of them, bind Him to them and stand on them.

We have been given help to approach God’s throne of grace. The Bible says we are petitioners at His throne and that Christ is there as our advocate. We also have the Holy Spirit standing beside us in the Father’s court. The Spirit is our Paraclete, one who serves as our advisor. He stands by to remind us of the eternal decrees that make up God’s Word.

We have been given incredible promises—of an advocate and an advisor, standing beside us—to give us boldness and assurance in coming to God’s throne.
