“Now, in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in His flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in Himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace.” [1]
Christ brings us close to God. Christ brought us close to God by dying on the cross for the forgiveness of our sin. Christ brought peace to us with God. A good prayer to pray for loved ones is that the distance between them and God will be replaced with nearness. The nearness will come as they receive a revelation of who Jesus is and ask Him to save them from their sins.
Isaiah wrote of the Lord, “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” [2]
[1] Ephesians 2:13-15
[2] Isaiah 26:3
Bearing witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus!
