Hebrews 4:16 tells us, "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." Amen. This verse is one of my favourites. It tells us that we can come to God boldly and receive mercy and grace. This doesn't mean that we come to God with a big wish list and arrogantly say 'I want this and this and this.' Under the Old Covenant, the Israelites were not allowed to come to where God was. But now we can talk straight to the Father becuase Christ bridged the gap between man and God. I want to know, will those who have not accepted Christ as their saviour please go to the Father seeking His mercy? Also, Christians, will you go to the Father to ask Him for His mercies to help you in your time of need? Be Blessed this evening.

How I love that verse. You know, I often use it at the conclusion of my prayers, to acknowledge that I can indeed come before the throne of grace to obtain mercy, because of Jesus Christ. Amen to all of that.

Hey it's No*no
Yes it tells us that we can get grace, and mercy from God. But in a since it says that we have to still have humility, and receive from God the gifts of Grace and mercy.

Gain access to the throne room in stillness. Monks, mystics and Yogi's have been doing it for thousands of years. Be still, and know that I am God.
Latter chapters of Gospel Enigma explains it in simple language.

"will those who have not accepted Christ as their Savior"
Jesus is NOT Savior. God clearly states in Isaiah: "I am God and beside me there is no Savior."
