“Access into this grace” – never comes through religion, the church, the “saints,” or the Virgin Mary… Access doesn’t come through our efforts to please God… “Access into this grace” only comes through the Lord Jesus Christ…
Those of us who are believers… have full, free, perpetual access… not because we paid for it—but because Jesus paid for it… Those of us who believe have literally, already been (lit.) brought near… given an entrance… an introduction into “this grace in which we stand…”
