AN APPROACHABLE GOD

The Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most beautiful places for sightseeing and chilling out. I really enjoyed myself walking around the Sydney Opera House along with hundreds of tourists from around the world. I took as many photos at this special place because I wanted everyone to see the beautiful scenery.


AN APPROACHABLE GOD

Is God an approachable God? Can we know God at a personal level? These few scriptures in the Bible explain the intimate relationship that we can have with God through Jesus Christ.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. 16Let 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. Hebrews 4: 14-16 (New International Version)

Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let's not let it slip through our fingers. We don't have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He's been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help. Hebrew 4:14-16 (The Message)

We can approach God directly because of Jesus Christ’s death on the cross for our sins. Jesus understands all our weaknesses and He is able to help us. Furthermore, Jesus’ sacrifice means we can approach God with confidence to receive help, direction and blessing from Him. Start communicating with God like you would to your best friend because He is close to us. When I first started talking to God, I thought my words were just vanishing into thin air. But over time, I began to notice that God was answering my prayers. I began to feel a greater sense of peace, joy and strength as I communed with God.

I encourage you to start speaking to Jesus; you will be amazed at what God can do in your life.
