Access God Freely!
"We have peace with God through our Lord
Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access."
Romans 5:1-2
The Secret Service was trying to determine how a woman
got access to the President’s private club in Florida.
She
had two passports, four mobile devices, laptop, and thumb
drive allegedly containing malware. Since then, security has
been tightened, and access is more stringent. We live in
a
world of limited access, heightened security, passwords,
and hacking. Everyone is interested in
access.
The Bible uses the word “access” three times to describe our
freedom to approach God. Romans 5:2 says “we have access
by faith” through Christ to the Father. And Ephesians 2:18 adds,
“For through Him we both [Jews and Gentiles] have access by
one Spirit to the Father.” And Ephesians 3:12 ends, “We have
boldness and access with confidence through faith in Him.”
God is not only an endless refuge for us in times of need, He's
always accessible. God uses facial recognition software,when
you approach Him, He sees countenance of His Son. He uses
a simple password—JESUS. And one thing is for sure—
heaven will never be hacked!
“God the Father,” to whom we have our access;
“God the Son,” through whom we have access;
“God the Holy Spirit,” by whom we have our access.
John A. Broadus
