Ephesians 2:19-22
"Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners,
but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of
God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole
building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in
whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the
Spirit."
Friday’s five this week contains five truths of our new
creation spirit.
Through the cross and the shedding of Jesus blood, Jesus
paid the admission for us into the family if God.
We have access into the throne room of God; his presence is
eternally with us,
All the time
Every moment
Every heartbeat
Every breath
Every thought
Every blink
Every touch
We are the temple of the Holy Spirit,
- We are NO longer strangers and aliens – I am not estranged from God. I am not a victim of my sin, my race, my nationality, or my birth. By Christ’s blood I am now a citizen of heaven, my old man has been crucified and I am a new man.
- We are fellow citizens with the saints – I am a citizen of heaven, every saint that has gone before me is my fellow citizen.
- We are the household of God – I am a child of God, an inheritor of all God’s riches he has provided for me by grace. I do not have to earn it or work for it; it is all there, unmerited favor, graciously given to me as a gift.
- We are built on Jesus Christ – I am built on the rock of Christ. When the storms of life batter me, he is my rock, my stronghold, my refuge and my shelter. I need fear no one and my life is hid with Christ in God.
- We are the habitation of God – I am alive with Christ living inside of me. Christ works through me as I let the same power that raised him from the dead dominate my all. God is not distant, he is not aloof. He lives, reigns and is united with me. His life, flows through my veins, enlivens my heart and directs my thoughts. I am his vessel created for him to work through me.
This short passage in Ephesians gives us amazing truths of
all that Christ has accomplished for us.
I am one with Christ, now and forever more.
