When the life of grace first begins in our souls, we approach God with fear and trembling. Aware of our guilt and humbled by it, we're overawed by the majesty of Jehovah, in whose presence we stand. We take the lowest place with genuine humility. But as we grow in grace, our fear loses its terror and becomes a holy reverence.

We're invited to a deeper access to God in Christ Jesus. As we walk with God, clothed in the righteousness of Christ, we come to Him reverently yet confidently. We see Him as a God of love, focusing on His goodness rather than His greatness, experiencing His love more than His majesty. Bowing humbly, we find greater freedom in prayer, knowing we're in the presence of infinite mercy and love, and accepted in Christ. As believers, we're called to come closer and rejoice in God, drawing near with the confidence to call Him "Abba, Father." "So may we go from strength to strength, and grow daily in grace, until we finally see You face to face."
