 'For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father'
(Ephesians 2:18).

It is through Jesus that we have access to the Father. It doesn't matter what culture we were born into, or which part of the world we are from; we are all sinners and salvation is only found in Jesus, who gives us the Spirit to live within us, and grant us access to the Father. As sinners we are all separated from God and deserve to be. But through his mercy and grace we are saved through faith in Jesus Christ.  As believers, we have nothing to brag about, because we still are unworthy, but saved by the precious blood of the Lamb - Christ. We are to be kind to others, especially those of the household of faith, to lift them them up and strengthen them. We should not act like we are better than others, since we have been saved by the same God. The Jews made that mistake with the Gentiles of which Paul spoke against. We have to remember, it is only by grace through faith in Christ's redeeming blood, that we have access by one Spirit, to God the Father, and have been brought near to the throne of God. We must show boldness with confidence that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the time of need.  Today, reflect on what God has done for you, even when you know  you don't deserve it. Consider what the Father has graciously given you as a sinner. When we know Christ and believe in him,  through his blood, he  reconciled us to the Father, giving us access to Him by one Spirit. The procedure of salvation involves God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Let us not take our salvation lightly or for granted, but thank God and appreciate His payment in full for our sins, through his Son, who gives us access each day to a closer walk with God.
Have a wonderful day and a blessed weekend

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
