Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16.
O that we were all, so wise, as to prepare and provide ourselves, in due time, with the right armour of faith, before the time of need, and hour of death approach. Come, my reader, let us begin now, directly, to lay in a good stock of grace by continual prayer, lest we should come too late and be undone. Behold the encouragement of Christ. I am the door, says he, and the way. John 10:1. John 14:6. Now by this door you may find the entrance into the heart and favour of God; Christ himself setting on a mercy seat, to receive and welcome the vilest of sinners. And there is no drawing near to God but through him, and clothed in the robes of righteousness of our only Redeemer, Mediator, and Advocate. He is Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, nay, the very All, in all believers. With Christ they never can part; and he can never part with them.
Now we may bow before his feet
And venture near the Lord:
No fiery cherub guards his seat.
Nor double flaming sword.
Once ’twas a seat of dreadful wrath,
And shot devouring flame:
Our God appeared consuming fire,
And vengeance was his name.
Rich were the drops of Jesus’ blood
That calmed his frowning face,
That sprinkled over the burning throne,
And turned the wrath to grace.
