In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.

—Eph 3:12

• Sometimes we feel unworthy to approach someone famous or important, if only because we don’t want to bother them. At other times the rich and the famous make it clear that they do not want to be approached.

• Even though none is greater, richer, more famous, or more important than God, he is approachable.

• Even though the Lord “lives in unapproachable light,” we are invited to enter (1 Tim 6:16). Because we are his children through faith in Christ, we are urged to “approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Heb 4:16).

• Praise God for his approachability, and praise Jesus, who opened up a way for us to come into the presence of God without fear.
