Attempting to go before God without a Savior.

What is it that sets Christianly off from most other religions of the world?  It is that we have a Savior.  His name is Jesus.  He is the only Savior we have or need.  He has been accepted by the Father as our Savior.  When we go before the Father we always go through our Savior.  The Father then accepts us, listens to us and answer our prayers because of our Savior.

Our sins have will always keep us from going to the Father without a Savior.  It is not that we have committed so many sins.  Yes we have.  However, the problem is we are sinners.  Because we are sinners, we sin.  What else can a sinner do?  We sin deliberately.  We sin carelessly.  We sin without knowing it.  But it is because we are sinner.

So how do we approach a holy God whose eyes are too pure to look on evil? (Habakkuk 1:13)  We go through the Savior He has provided for us.  As we come to the Father, he looks at us, and He see the pure and holy righteousness of His Son instead of our sins.

The Savior He has provided has no substitutes.  You can not merely pray several times a time day and expect to be accepted by the Father.  You can not do religious things; you can not give a large amount of money; no long pilgrimages with take you there.  Not even a confession of your sins in the ears of someone is suppose to be God's representative.

Embrace Jesus for who He is.  He is the only Savior.  He can deal with your sins no matter how great.  You will be granted an access to the Father.  You will become His beloved one.
