Further reflections on how we have been “begotten”(born anew) again ...by the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ, caused me to appreciate, the more, the supernatural work of reconciliation wrought for us, through Christ; who were at one time “separated” (living apart/excluded/alien) from His covenant, with no hope.
[1 Pet 1:3; Eph 2:12]
One interesting Bible translation put it this way: “...His death ...ended the angry resentment (enmity) between us, caused by the Jewish laws which favored the Jews and excluded the Gentiles; for (Christ) died to annul that whole system of Jewish laws. Then (Christ) took the two groups (Jew and Gentile) that had been opposed to each other and made them parts of Himself; thus He fused us together to become one “new” man, so making peace.”
[Eph 2:15/TLB]
Talk about DRAW ME NEARER. “You ...hath He reconciled;” and He, alone, is able to perform the good work He has begun, until He returns. [Col 1:21; Phil 1:6]
ThenSingsMySoul:
(IT'S) NOT OVER, IT'S NOT FINISHED
IT'S NOT ENDING, IT'S ONLY THE BEGINNING
WHEN GOD IS IN IT,
ALL THINGS ARE “NEW,” OOH OOH OOH OOH
ALL THINGS ARE “NEW!”
