Jesus Christ, Our Audacity to pray to God

The prayer of a sinful man is an abomination before God, then why does the sinner still come to pray to a Who has considered his sins an abomination? This question can only be answered if we understand the bible.

We humans cannot go to our earthly father to ask for anything when we are not in good terms with him, then how can we now have the boldness to go to our heavenly father to ask for anything in spite of our sin.

When a true Christian commits a sin, there is that emptiness, that void in him that makes him feel his prayers would not be answered. Filling that void can only happen when we return back to God and earnestly confess our sins to him, promising never to go back to it, only then can we have the boldness to pray to a father who would listen.

Jesus’ Christ death and resurrection has purchased for us the bridge which we can cross over to God and call him Abba father. He has made us heir to an inheritance, an inheritance deeply rooted in God’s kingdom and promises which he gives to his children who call upon him.

We can only have the guts to go to the father, when we fully grasp the role his son played that we may be redeemed. Christ is the author and finisher of our faith, his death and resurrection has given us a blank check to his father, no wonder he called us co-heirs to the kingdom of his father.

Psalm 82 calls us gods. Who is a god you may ask? We are created in God’s image, therefore we are God-like. If we are on the same page with God, because we are his children, we can come to him without any fear in our hearts and he would hear and answer us. We can never have that boldness if we remain in sin. Let us not allow sin separate us from the love of Christ.
We need to live our lives to that point where we can boldly hit our chests and say, I know my father will answer me as I have prayed to him according to his will and purpose for me. The only way to build that audacity to go to the father is through Jesus Christ.
