Access to the Father
Access to the Father
Thursday
And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
— Ephesians 2:17-18 (ESV)
— Ephesians 2:17-18 (ESV)
"For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father." This single verse reveals the Trinity at work in our salvation: access through the Son, in the Spirit, to the Father. All three persons of the Godhead are involved in bringing us home.
The word "access" (prosagoge) was used in ancient times to describe being formally ushered into the presence of a king. You didn't just walk into a king's throne room; you were introduced, escorted, presented. Jesus is our escort into the Father's presence. The Spirit accompanies us. And the Father receives us.
Think about this: the God who created galaxies, who sustains all things by the word of His power, who dwells in unapproachable light—that God has granted you access. Not grudging access, not limited access, but free and full access. You can approach Him anytime, anywhere, about anything. This is the privilege of every believer. Not just pastors, not just mature Christians, but every blood-bought child of God.

1. Do you live as though you have access to God?
2. What prevents you from approaching Him more freely and frequently?

Father, thank You for the access I have through Jesus and in the Spirit. Help me not to take this privilege for granted but to come boldly to Your throne of grace. Amen.
