(Jesus Made Fellowship With God A Reality)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 2:14-15 NIV

“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace.”

LET’S TALK

The Lord Jesus came to bring us into fellowship with God. He came to establish an intimate relationship—a oneness—between God and man so that man could truly know God. And He achieved it!

In Christ Jesus, eternal life—the very life and nature of God—has been imparted to our spirits. In John 10:10 (NIV), Jesus declared, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

This abundant life is what you received when you accepted Jesus as Lord of your life. Colossians 3:4 tells us that Christ is your life. What a glorious gospel!

Now, Jesus Christ isn’t only the Lord of your life, but also the One in and by whom you’ve found rich and deep fellowship: “That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3).

1 Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” This fellowship is what God had always wanted with man, and Jesus made it a reality!

This is what He wants us to preach and teach around the world. He said in Mark 16:15, “…Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” He wants us to let the world know that a relationship with Almighty God is possible, that righteousness is possible and available.

All it takes is to believe, for “…whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:15). Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, thank you for the remarkable gift of fellowship, oneness, friendship and intimacy with you, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who has made your presence real to me. I enjoy the depth of this relationship and walk in the love and righteousness that Jesus has made available for me to live by. Amen.
