Hebrews 4:16

Since we have such a High Priest to intercede for us with God, we can approach God confidently in prayer (cf. Hebrews 3:6; Hebrews 10:19; Hebrews 10:35). Every Christian can come to God’s heavenly throne, not just the high priests of Judaism. The high priests of Judaism could only approach God at His earthly throne, in the holy of holies in the tabernacle or temple, once a year. God’s throne of judgment, for the Israelites, has become a throne of grace (undeserved help) for us now. Our Sovereign will be merciful (not giving us what we deserve) and gracious (giving us what we do not deserve). This verse again contrasts the superiority of Christianity over Judaism.
