“Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.” - Hebrews 4:16

God came to you. You can boldly draw near to God with confidence. After all, he was willing to take the first step. He wants you near, to have a relationship with you. In Jesus Christ, God came to earth for the sole purpose of drawing near to you. Imagine that! He put the fullness of his grace and love on display (John 1: 14). The Bible says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8)." God has drawn near to you, so why be afraid of drawing near to him?

Come to God. God invites you to participate in his gift of salvation. Ephesians 2:8 declares, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."  Faith in Jesus Christ is how you begin to draw near to God. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Come near to God.

Find your purpose with God. Everyone wants to know that they have a purpose. There is no issue more central to the human experience than that of purpose and meaning in life. As you boldly draw near to God, in faith, you will find your purpose. 

"God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). There is no need to be reserved in your drawing near to God. He wants you to "diligently" seek him. When you draw close to God through faith in Jesus Christ, you will not only find forgiveness, but you will find purpose and meaning. Do not be hesitant in drawing near to God. He is welcoming you. Be bold.
