OUR ONLY ACCESS
(Nuggets from Ephesians 2:18)
Jesus Christ our Lord secured UNRESTRICTED ACCESS to God for us by His death, reconciling us to God and acquainting us with God; and by His intercession in Heaven, our prayers are answered.
Through Jesus we both (JEWS & GENTILES) have access by one SPIRIT (the Holy Spirit) unto God the Father. Jesus is the BRIDGE that connects us to God, thus, we are permitted to approach God through Him, and in His name.
The oneness of "the Spirit," through which we both have our ACCESS, is necessarily followed by ONENESS of the body of Christ, the Church (Ephesians 2:16).
In today's verse, we see the distinctness of persons in the Divine Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ His only son (our Bridge), and the Holy Spirit that unites us.
This ACCESS to God is a drawing nigh to God with the heart, and a worshipping him in spirit; and is by faith, and may be with freedom, and should be, with reverence, and ought to be frequent; and is a peculiar privilege that belongs to the children of God; and who have great honour bestowed upon them, to have access to God at any time, as their Father, through Christ the Mediator, and under the influence, and by the direction and assistance of the Holy Spirit: this is a considerable proof of a trinity of persons in the Godhead, of their deity and distinct personality.
It is only sin and rejection of the offer of Salvation that denies one the access to God the Father; but anyone who confesses and rejects sin and all other works of darkness, and sincerely repents of all sins and accepts Jesus Christ into his/her life will be granted this access.
YOU CAN BOLDLY APPROACH THE THRONE OF GRACE TODAY BECAUSE JESUS HAS GIVEN YOU ACCESS ALREADY.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
