TEXT:  Hebrews 4:14-16

A Biblical Study of Believer’s Baptism
Introduction: To get young converts started in a personal prayer life.
One who is a believer in Christ as personal Savior has many privileges. One of the greatest of
these privileges is the privilege of prayer. Christians, as children of God, have the privilege of
praying directly to our Father in Heaven. (Prayer is when we communicate with God). We have
this ability because of our Savior and High Priest, Jesus Christ.

I. The commitment of our High Priest (v. 14)
A. The possession we have in Christ
B. The position we have in Christ (Ephesians 2:4-10)
C. The profession we have in Christ

II. The compassion for our prayers (v. 15; Matthew 4:1-11)

A. He understands our humanity
B. He can relate to our struggles
C. He has empathy for our difficulties
D. He has won our victory for us
III. The confidence in our prayers (v. 16)

A. God wants us to come to Him in prayer courageously (I John 5:14)
B. God wants to come to His throne for what we need
C. God wants us to find our needs met in His help
