Scriptures |
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; Having
abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances;
for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile
both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and
preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we
both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the
chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy
temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through
the Spirit. ~Ephesians 2:13-22 |
