“But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.”
Romans 4:5
When you approach God, He wants you to approach Him with boldness. He doesn’t want your sins to make you feel unworthy and make you frightened to approach Him. He wants you to approach Him with confidence, knowing that your justification and eligibility to receive from Him are based on the death, burial, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus.
“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.”
Acts 4:13
Boldness. A word that is hardly known anymore in the Body of Christ today. Many Christians think that to be bold is to be arrogant. Boldness is not arrogance. Boldness isn’t for self-gain. Its characteristic has a defined purpose. It is being courageous in standing up against the evil forces of this world through the faith and power of the Holy Ghost that dwells inside of you.
