Now in Christ

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:12-13.

It would interest you to know that there was a time when only the Jews knew the only true God. Everyone else had no hope and were without God in the world. As long as you were not a Jew, you didn’t know God. But now in Christ Jesus, we who sometimes were afar off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Hallelujah!

The middle wall of partition has been broken down. And now both Jew and Gentile alike have access to the Father by one Spirit. Glory! Who made this possible? Jesus! It’s all Him! He did it for us! He is our peace. He abolished in His flesh the enmity. Through the Cross, we all have access to the Father.

And now in Christ Jesus, there is no Jew or Gentile. What we have now is one new man—the man in Christ. Hallelujah! Who is this man? He is a new creature. He has been reconciled to God. Fellowship with God has been restored for this man. Once you believe in Jesus, this is your lot. You are new man! Washed clean and made anew by the precious blood of Jesus.

This is why there is nothing to boast in ourselves. Our boast is in Christ Jesus. He did the work to bring peace. This is something to be thankful for. So now we are no more hopeless and without God. We have access to God once we believe in Him. Oh, what a privilege to be in Christ. Oh, what a privilege to be called sons of God. Friend, you have something to rejoice in. So rejoice!

SAY THIS: Lord Jesus, You are awesome. Thank You for making peace between man and God. Thank You because today we have hope and access to God.

You are blessed. God loves you. Yes you!!!
