A Precious Promise of Assurance<\/u><\/strong>
\n<\/em><\/strong>\u201cBecause of Christ and our faith in Him, we can now come fearlessly into God\u2019s presence, assured of His glad welcome.\u201d\u00a0 Ephesians 3:12 [NLT]<\/em><\/p>\n

Thoughts:
\n<\/u><\/strong>What a blessing our faith in Jesus affords us!
\nWe have the assurance that we can come fearlessly into God’s presence at any time, with any problems, struggles, or concerns and He will gladly welcome us.
\n<\/strong>This verse is a very important verse to us believers, and one which we should cling to, because it is a very precious promise from God to us who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

This verse is saying that because of our faith in Christ, God has opened the door to His throne room to us!\u00a0 Because of Christ, we now have access to the Father\u2013anytime day or night.
\nWe can come confidently, boldly to the Throne, knowing full well that God will receive us!
\nThis is a wonderful promise of Assurance to us and one which we should remember and cling to
\nThe Door of Heaven has been opened by Jesus and God is there gladly welcoming us to come into His presence.<\/p>\n

Prayer:
\n<\/u><\/strong>Dear God,
\nI claim this Precious Promise of Assurance!
\nI believe Your word that says, because of Jesus and my faith in Him, I can come into Your presence fearlessly, at any time, with any concern, and you will gladly welcome me.
\nThank You, God for this blessed assurance and precious promise. Amen<\/p>\n
