PROMISE #67 - MARCH 8
Promise #67:
I have brought you close through the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:13 (WEB)
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off
are made near in the blood of Christ.
The book of Ephesians is one of my favorite books in the Bible. In chapter 2, the Apostle Paul reminds us how we have been made alive in Christ. I love that he speaks of our old life in the past tense, telling us we are now alive in Christ.
In today's promise found in Ephesians 2:13, we read that those who were once far away have now been brought close to God through the blood of Jesus. There is no separation between us and God any longer! What Jesus secured for each one of us on the cross is an intimacy with God that can never be taken away from us.
The enemy of our soul may try to convince us that our sin still keeps us separate from God, but praise God that there is, therefore, now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus! (Romans 8:1)
Today, I pray that we will have the eyes to see this profound yet simple truth... Our God and Father has brought us close to His heart through the shed blood of His Son, and nothing will ever be able to separate us from His love in Christ Jesus our Lord! (Romans 8:38-39)
***
Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for sending your Son so that by His shed blood, I can approach you without guilt or condemnation. Help me to walk in the tangible reality that nothing in all creation can ever separate me from your love in Christ. By faith, I declare today that I am greatly love and accepted in the Beloved!
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
I have brought you close through the blood of Christ.
