Come Boldly To The Throne Of Grace!

Hi folks

How many of you remember that worldly Christmas song "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town"? I have been listening to it since I was a kid and the part that stuck most in mind is "He's making a list and checking it twice, going to find out who's naughty or nice... he knows if you been good or bad so be good for goodness sake"  If you are nice you'll get a present, if you are naughty you'll get nothing.

Thank God our Heavenly Father is NOT like that!

While we are still naughty He gave His one and only Son that we may receive the ultimate present from Him: our salvation!! (John 3:16,17, Rom 5:8)
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."  (Joh 3:16,17 NASB)
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  (Rom 5:8 NASB)
So if God "who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?"  (Rom 8:32 NASB)

Is there anything in heaven more precious than Jesus?  I don't think so right?  So if God has given us Jesus, who is more precious than anything else in the whole universe, would He not also give us all good things?
"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!  (Mat 7:11 NASB)
So my brothers and sisters, you receiving a miracle has NOTHING to do with your PERFORMANCE! It has everything to do with Jesus' performance (ie His finished work on the cross) and your FAITH in that finished work.

Do you believe that you stand righteous before God because of the finished work of Jesus on the cross?  By His one sacrifice on the cross we have been made holy you know? (Heb 10:10)  In fact our righteous is God's own righteous! (2 Cor 5:21) You can't get more righteous than that!  :-) 

When God looks at you, He does not make a list and check it twice, going to find out if you are naughty or nice.  In fact, He does NOT REMEMBER ANY of THEM!
"AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE." (Heb 10:17 NASB)
Hallelujah!!

So my friends, do not think that because you blew it yesterday, you do not deserve to ask God to help you in your need today.  Repent (ie change your mind & turn to back to God), thank Him for the forgiveness already bought for you by the blood of Christ on the cross and confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ!

So have faith.  Have faith not in your own strength to perform for His blessings but have faith in the blood of Christ, that one perfect sacrifice that cleansed you from all your sins (past, present and future), made you holy and clothed you with God's righteousness, and qualified you for all the promises of God in Christ!

"For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us." (2Co 1:20 NASB)

Now, if you are THAT right with God, what is stopping you from going to God for His help? And there is NOTHING to stop God from helping you in Jesus Name!
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.  (Heb 4:16 NKJV)
Hallelujah!!

For His Glory!
