Bible Verse of The Day – 12-13-17

Ephesians 2:11 (NLT) 11 Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts.

Our salvation in Christ was once something that nobody could even imagine, never mind comprehend it.

The Jews looked down upon anyone who wasn’t Jewish. Gentiles were outsiders. We weren’t worthy to think that we could ever approach God or be considered one of His children.

Little did anyone know, though, that God had a plan for us, to bring us into His kingdom and give us the opportunity to be called His children!

When Jesus breathed his last breath, the veil of the temple was torn in two, giving us direct access to the Father!

Mark 15:38 (NKJV) 38 Then the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom.

The death of Jesus bought us, through the shedding of His blood, and we now have the opportunity to become His children.

John 1:12 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name…

What an awesome God we serve, with unlimited compassion and unconditional love for us.

Consider this today, and let it put a smile on your face every time you think of it.
