 Only his mercy covers us in his presence. But with that gracious mercy, we can come without fear both into the family of God and onto his throne. Hebrews 4, 15 and 16 expresses that freedom due to God's grace. Hebrews says, For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
