Heb. 4: 14-16 Coming Boldly To The Throne Of Grace

In our study thus far we have seen the concern of the author of "The Book Of Hebrews" on two specific aspects.  a. That the Jewish Christians remain steadfast in their faith.  b. That they do not make the same mistake of departing from the living God, as did many of their ancestors  His "MODUS OPERANDI" has been two-fold.  a. Illustrate the superiority of Jesus (e.g., to prophets, to angels, and Moses)  b. Exhort them to faithfulness.  In the previous two exhortations we have seen thus far, to remain faithful we must...  a. He 2:1-4 "...give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard"  b. He 3:12-14 "...exhort one another daily..."  To put it another way, to remain faithful we must be diligent...  a. In our study of the Word of God b. In exhorting one another daily  Today we come to another necessary aspect of our walk with God recorded in the passage read earlier in Heb 4:14-16.  The main thought in this passage is that we should "come boldly to the throne of grace"  WE WILL SET OUT TO ANSWER TWO VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:  1. But what does that mean to come boldly to the throne of grace?  2. And why should we be diligent to do this?
