2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. 19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
Amidst the storms that life hurls your way, you must never forget the foundational truth that you’re built up by God’s unrelenting power. In today’s word from Pastor John, he shows you the importance of remaining rooted in God’s love, as it’s a steadfast anchor that will withstand the fiercest storms. Explore the profound strength and resilience that comes from being grounded in the immovable love of God. Regardless of the challenges, your foundation in His love ensures that you stand firm and unshaken.
Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians, chapter 2, as he continues his message He Is Our Peace.
