This is an exhortation from Hebrews which encourages believers to boldly seek God's face himself. Christ paid the price and gave us the access to the Father.

Hebrews 4:14-16

14 Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. 15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested* as we are, yet without sin. 16Let us therefore approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

INDEED.

And it has been a chief goal, strategy, tactic of satan's to detract from that role, priority, focus

every way he can.

Of course, he is persistently most successful in the guise of religion . . . especially pontifically, organizationally, traditionally glorified and elaborated religion of every stripe and flavor.
