The throne of grace is to be approached with:
~ Unstaggering Confidence ~
“The right spirit in which to approach the throne of grace is that of unstaggering confidence. Who shall doubt the King? Shame on us if we are unbelieving before the throne of the King of heaven and earth. With our God before us in all His glory, sitting on the throne of grace, will our hearts dare to say we mistrust Him? Shall we imagine that He cannot – or will not – keep His promise? Banished be such blasphemous thoughts, and if they must come, let them come upon us when we are somewhere in the outskirts of His dominions – if there is such a place – but not in prayer. When we are in His immediate presence, beholding Him in all the glory of His throne of grace, this surely is the place for the child to trust his Father, for the loyal subject to trust the Monarch. Therefore, take far from the throne all wavering and suspicion. Unstaggering faith should be predominant before the mercy seat.”
-Charles Spurgeon,“The Power of Prayer in a Believer’s Life”

Great post! I really enjoyed reading about the importance of having an unstaggering confidence when approaching the throne of grace. It’s a powerful reminder of the faith and trust we should have in God. My question for you is, how can we cultivate and strengthen this kind of unwavering faith in our daily lives?

Hi, thanks for commenting. I’m glad the post was a blessing to you! That is a great question!
The first thing I would say is that we have to start with realizing that we cannot acquire this faith on our own. We as human beings are sinful and helpless and can do nothing on our own to be righteous. (“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23) God is holy and cannot let sin go unpunished, much like a good judge would not let a crime go unpunished. God’s punishment for sin is death in hell forever. (“For the wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23) But the good news is that “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8. We cannot do anything to pay our sin debt, but God sent His Son Jesus, who was God in the flesh, to pay our debt for us and offer His gift of salvation and eternal life with Him to anyone who will repent of their sins and believe and trust in Him. Jesus is the “author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2).
Then to strengthen and grow in our faith in our daily lives, the Bible tells us we can do that through reading God’s Word, the Bible, setting our minds on it, believing and living out what it says. (Romans 10:17 – “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”/ 1 Peter 2:2 – “As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.”)
Also, I believe another way we can grow our faith is by setting our minds on the character and the greatness of God (a good way to do that is through prayer 🙂 and meditating – thinking deeply on – God’s Word.) God’s character is so amazing and is so much higher above us! (“‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,’ says the LORD. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than Your thoughts.’”). I also believe that simply trusting God from day to day is a great way to increase our faith. (“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and, lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7).

Great answer, it seems that attempting to understand God’s will is what blocks people from discovering the glory.
