While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him....much more, being reconciled...  - (Romans 5:8b, 9, 10a)

Our boldness and position with God comes from being made right with Him, or from being justified by the Blood.  The shed Blood reconciled you to God long before you even thought about coming to God.  He had already made provision for your place with Him while you were yet a sinner, an alcoholic, a drug addict, lost!  His love for you made a way back to Him that Adam had lost for all mankind, so you could come before Him justified–or “just as if I’d never sinned”!  You come as a friend, as a son, as a partner with Him to obtain mercy and find grace in times of need.  Nothing now stands between you and answered prayer.  He provided it by grace, and you are coming boldly to obtain what He paid for, for you.  Health is yours, prosperity is your way of life, power and ability belong to you.  When things freely given to you are challenged by the enemy, be bold in what belongs to you!  Resist the devil and he will flee (James 4:7b)!  Come!  Not to try to get, but to obtain and hold on to what belongs to you!

Having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself....to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight. – Ephesians 1:20a, 22b

Through the sacrifice of Jesus, Father God once again restored peace between mankind and God by the Blood.  You have been reconciled to Him and you now stand before Him holy and unblameable and unreprovable.  What a basis for a relationship with God!  What a possibility for closeness with Him!  You have been recreated holy, righteous, and justified-–by the Blood, not by your works.  Your efforts and behavior have nothing to do with your present place with God!  He shed the Blood, He reconciled, He now presents you to Himself righteous and holy.  Others may look at your faults, you may constantly look at your failures, but in His sight you are holy, blameless, and unreproveable.  Begin to put some faith in the Blood.  Begin to believe in who He has made you in Christ.  Do not settle for a distant relationship with Him, but come as one who belongs in His presence.  You are reconciled to Him by the Blood!

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. – Ephesians 4:24

This is what happened the very second you received salvation and got born again-–you were created in righteousness and true holiness.  Notice, you were not created to become righteous and holy, but you were created in righteousness and holiness.  That is who you are; that is your position with Him.  You have a right place and a holy place with Him.  But you must “put on the new man.”  You put him on in your thought life and in your imagination.  How you see yourself will determine your walk and relationship with God.  If you believe you are still a sinner, you will walk like a sinner and live distant from God.  If you believe you are unholy, you will live an unholy life-–and not only that, but you will also strive and struggle to become a righteous and holy person through your own efforts!  Your own efforts can never produce righteousness and holiness, only failure.  Stop trying to become and just believe you are-–by the Blood.  Put on the new man, the righteous man, the holy man, the unblameable and unreproveable man, the reconciled man.  Believe in what the Blood has freely provided for you!

He hath chosen us in him...holy and without blame before him in love...[adopted as] children...and accepted in the beloved.

– Ephesians 1:4-6

According to the pleasure of His will, your have been chosen by God.  Before the foundation of the world, you were chosen to be before God, in His presence, to live holy, without blame, accepted in the Beloved as part of the family of God.  This was God’s desire, God’s plan, and was accomplished by God’s provision!  God’s will for you is a close, intimate relationship with Him, a righteous and holy standing before God.  What Adam lost in the garden, God restored on the cross!  You are a child of the living God.  Guilt-free!  Condemnation-free!  With a legal right to come boldly into His presence.  You are no longer a stranger or foreigner to God, but a fellow-citizen and a member of the household of God (Eph. 2:19).  Stop begging and pleading for the things of God as if they do not belong to you.  Stop trying to convince God to do for you what He has already provided for and desires for you to have!  Come holy, come righteous, come unblameable, come chosen, come accepted–-before Him, in love, and obtain all the mercy and find all the grace you need.  He is waiting daily to make all blessings for you alive to you!  You have no excuse!  Come boldly!
