(Collect The Grace You Want In The Throne Room)

TO THE BIBLE: Hebrews 4:16 NIV
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

LET’S TALK
In the Old Testament, the Ark of God had a place on it, called the Mercy Seat, where the blood of animals was offered; it was the place of grace.

Whenever the high priest came into the Most Holy Place, where the Ark of God was, he met with God, and God spoke with the high priest “…from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony…” (Exodus 25:22).

Over in the New Testament, Apostle Paul wrote to the Jewish Christians to help them understand what God had done: “Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession” (Hebrews 4:14).

This means that the Lord Jesus is our High Priest today. While all the other priests ministered in the first sanctuary, the high priest alone went into the inner sanctuary.

But Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

The word translated “throne” is the Greek “thronos,” and it means seat. That mercy seat in the Old Testament is now called the throne of grace, meaning that grace has now been enthroned! Hallelujah!

Romans 5:2 says we have access by faith to this grace. Our underlined portion in today’s opening verse can be read as “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence,” meaning we don’t need an intermediary to the throne anymore.

We now have bold, confident access in Christ Jesus to this “throne of grace” to obtain mercy and find grace to help in times of need!

That throne of grace is the place where grace reigns like a king! In that place or seat of grace, you don’t ask God for anything; you “obtain” what you want. The word translated “obtain” is the Greek “lambanō,” which means you come in there to collect or obtain grace!

Do you require grace for anything in your life today? Collect the grace you want; you’re already in the throne room where grace reigns, so boldly obtain the grace you need for that assignment and for your next and higher level of glory in your walk with God.

Hebrews 4:14-16; 2 Timothy 2:1

Speak:
I’m sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency, and His superabundant grace in my life is sufficient for me in all things. Grace—the lifting power of God that attracts the right people, materials, and resources—has put me ahead and positioned me for success and victory. Glory to God!
