In light of Jesus's incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, the most fitting approach to God is boldly.

The New Testament emphasizes that through Jesus's work, particularly His sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection, believers have access to God. Ephesians 3:12 states, “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.” This underscores the idea that Jesus's actions have opened the way for us to come before God without fear or hesitation, ultimately allowing us to approach Him with assurance and boldness because of the grace extended to us through Christ.

While feelings of timidity, hesitation, or pride may arise, the central message of the Gospel encourages us to approach God with confidence, knowing that we are welcomed as His children through the redemptive work of Jesus.
