Ephesians 3

"In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence." vs.12

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." vs.20-21

These two passages stuck out to me.
Because of Christ we are able to approach God with freedom and confidence. I think about the Jews/Gentiles that heard this the first time from Paul or whoever. What a hard concept to grasp. It's even hard for me to fathom and I've been doing my whole life. What does it mean to approach God with freedom? Freedom means the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement. I am at liberty to approach God. Whoa. And in confidence? Being secure, no fear, no doubt. I can approach God every minute of every day whenever I want however I want and be confident that he is listening and there. Praise God.
