God's Throne of Grace
Commentators emphasize that because of Jesus, God's throne is not a terrifying seat of judgment but a 'throne of grace.' It represents God's sovereign power combined with His loving desire to dispense mercy and pardon. This image, contrasted with a throne of pure justice, invites believers to approach God not with fear of condemnation, but with the assurance of His favor and willingness to help.
