Do you have access to the Father by the Blood of Jesus?
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. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians 2:12-14 King James Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE(s)…
God’s Word says that though we were once far off we can now draw near through the Blood of Jesus. And only through the Blood of Jesus. Though we were once strangers to God, Jesus, by the shedding of His Blood on the Holy altar of God, has made a way for us. He has broken down the wall (the sin barrier passed to mankind by the first Adam’s sin) that once separated us from a sinless God, just as the veil of the temple was torn apart when He was crucified. We now have access through the Blood of Jesus to the ‘Most High God’ (El Elyown). No matter what you have done or how bad or evil you think you are, you have access to God through Jesus. You do NOT have to clean yourself up first, that is the Holy Spirit’s job after you come to God through Jesus. Notice however, that the only access to God is through Jesus. There is NO other way.
Not works, not doing good, not being good, not through religion, not through some church program or some other so called god. There is no other way to gain access to God The Father, than through Jesus Christ, No Other way! Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, except through me.”
MY PRAYER…
Most High God, thank You for access to You through Your son Jesus and the shedding of His Blood for me. Thank You Lord that though I was once separated from You and was far away You are drawing me nearer and nearer each day through the precious Blood of Jesus. I thank You Lord that Jesus has removed that veil , that wall of sin, that was once separating me from You and that I can now come near by my faith in Jesus. I thank You Father for the privilege to come boldly before Your Throne of Grace in the name of Jesus. In Jesus’ Holy name and by the power of His Blood I give praise and glory forever.
Amen
