Ephesians 2:18 “…for through HIM we both have our access in one SPIRIT to the FATHER.”
A Firm Foundational
Access Reminder!
The cost of access
(since nothing’s free)
is often lost on those
“misguided”…
…whose hearts forgot
Life’s “price is paid”,
where sacrifice came
not from them.
On “all else built”
could nothing stand if
GOD’s foundation had
not been laid.
Boast then — just of
CHRIST — WHOSE
Blood’s finished work
forever secures us…
so give HIM your all!
As HIServant thankful
that our right of
citizenship and
endless access into
Heaven remains
eternally paid for by
HIS finished work,
Whitney
Devotional: John 19:28-30 “After this, JESUS, knowing that all things were now accomplished,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to HIS mouth.
30 So when JESUS had received the sour wine, HE said, “It is finished!” And bowing HIS head, HE gave up HIS SPIRIT.
What control over all things! HE released HIS own SPIRIT! That’s WHO we stand on!
Similarly, as we lead the charge of our own self building projects, to whom are we giving all control?
Self or SAVIOUR? You or YAHWEH? Creation or CREATOR?
You see, no builder can boast of a completed 2nd story master bathroom when there’s foundation yet.
In like manner, no one continues building whenever a poured foundation is found to be sinking.
That’s just common sense.
So to boast of our accomplishments much more so that HIS finished work is common sense as well meaning: “Don’t!”
In like manner, to casually invest so little of the best products into our own temple building…is also common sense meaning: “Don’t!”
Because!! Our temples are built on the solid ROCK of JESUS CHRIST and our best efforts should be applied to the building up in the grace and knowledge of HIM.
Such deeper devotion and greater attention given to HIS WORD then shows us more aware that we stand… ONLY because of HIM.
Our joyous access into HIS presence is ONLY because of HIM.
Ephesians 3:11-12 “According to the eternal purpose which HE purposed in CHRIST JESUS our LORD: in WHOM we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of HIM.”
Therefore, thank YOU, LORD GOD! Hallelujah!
We praise YOUR NAME for securing our lives for eternity and granting 24/7 access to YOU through fervent prayer.
Teach us as we study and as we serve others that we are always to be building on YOURS, the ONLY solid foundation: blood poured and perfect!
Amen and amen!
