Access (Approach)

From: A Dictionary of Biblical Words and Phrases By: Alfred Taylor Schofield

Admission into the grace wherein we stand (Rom. 5:2²By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. (Romans 5:2)), and to the Father (Eph. 2:18; 3:12¹⁸For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (Ephesians 2:18)
¹²In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. (Ephesians 3:12)), through Christ by the Spirit. Hence it is used generally to express the nearness of Christians (“within the veil,” Heb. 10:20-22²⁰By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; ²¹And having an high priest over the house of God; ²²Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:20‑22)) in contradistinction to the Jews, who worshipped “afar off.”
