For Tuesday, October 27, 2020
Ephesians 2:13 NLT: “Now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.”
In Hebrew jargon, a sinner is said to be “far from God.” The sinner is then counseled to repent and return, to come “closer to God.” Paul is applying this principle to the Gentile world, which includes most of us. We’re moved closer to God by faith, our belief in the sacrificial work Jesus did on the cross.
Realize that Jesus on the cross was an act of redeeming love. Jesus-the-mediator was reconciling God and mankind, taking the sin of the world to the place of the dead, and making all who would believe acceptable before God Almighty!
The work Jesus did guarantees believers hope for the life after this life!
Blessings to all this week!
