Intro

I can think of 1000 reasons why I should not stand in the presence of God. He is holy. I have sinned against his law, his mercy, his love, his patience and wisdom. I fall short, always and often. I look back into the past and there is much not to be proud of. I look inwardly and there is much that is troubling. But God provides me with one reason why I can stand in his presence. Jesus died for my sins. Everything changes when I look at the Son of God hanging on the cross for me. My access into God’s presence is by his Son. I am a child of God not because of my own righteousness but by the righteousness of Jesus my Savior. So when sin and Satan, past memories and present darkness, come knocking at your door let Jesus answer the door. “If anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for our sins only but also for the sins of the whole world.” I John 2:1-2 “I can stand before God because his Son hung for me.”
