In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Translate, 'Our boldness and our access (Ephesians 2:18) in confidence through our faith in Him.' 'THE access' (Greek); the formal introduction into a monarch's presence. Esther had access, but not access with confidence (Esther 4:16, "So will I go in unto the king: if I perish, I perish"). Three stages: we believe God's promises; then conceive confidence; hence, follows intrepid boldness, so as constantly to draw nigh to God.
