Commentators universally agree that this verse describes the believer's privilege of approaching God. Through faith in Jesus, we are granted 'access' to God's very presence, not with fear or hesitation, but with 'boldness' and 'confidence.' This isn't presumption, but a holy courage to speak freely with God, assured that we will be heard because of Christ.
