Scripture of the Day - February 2, 2012

Ephesians 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Jesus came and preached peace to those who were far from God and even to those who were near to Him. No matter how near we think we are we still need the gospel of Jesus. The only way to the Father in heaven is through His flesh...Jesus...because that flesh came in One Spirit. As we learn later in Ephesians 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

To add to the wonder of it all....we are part of the household of God and NOTHING can separate us from His love. Earthly families can turn on you, or they can refuse to accept you (the in-law syndrome) but God will always accept you and He will never turn on you. Believe on Him.
