He promises you boldness and confidence. [Christ jesus our Lord], in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him (Eph. 3:12). Because of the work of Christ, all believers are given the confidence and boldness to come to God. before you knew Jesus, you were like a stranger to the family of God. You may have even been afraid to talk to God or be in his presence. Through Christ, you have become a member of the family. In a family you can run to your father at anytime. You do not have to beg for his time, or be afraid of his presence. He loves you. He knows you. You are his child. Do not be afraid to run to your heavenly Father. He expects you to come to him when you have doubts, or questions, or need comfort. You do not have to be timid. you belong to him, and you can boldy turn to him with every need. see for yourself: Ps. 119:28 2cor. 3:4 Heb. 4:16 10:19
