Bible Question: Apparently i didn't present my question properly before. The issue is not the communion but approaching a HOLY GOD IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. I am aware of Pauls teaching in 1 cor.11. CONCERNING THE LORDS TABLE.

Bible Answer: Hello jje, If I'm understanding your query- Heb. 4:16 answers it, "Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." The reason for this is stated in the 2 previous verses: Heb 4:14 "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession." Heb 4:15 "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin." (NASB) This in turn could also be based upon the positional truths contained in Eph. 1:3-8 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
