Mercy and Grace In Time of Need 

HEB 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Let's zero in on the expression here "mercy and...grace to help in time of need." Let's apply this to salvation: 

As sinners who badly need salvation, we are always in a time of need...moment by moment. Sadly, not many realize their need. Not many realize the beggarly and miserable condition they are in. 

However, if you are reading this and have realized your needy condition, my friend, there is mercy and grace for you. Where? There at the cross of Calvary. In a very real sense, the cross of Calvary is the Lord's "throne of grace" and His "mercy seat." 

All you have to do is to draw near with confidence and faith in it for your salvation.
