Ephesians 2:13,14
Now in Christ JESUS ye who once were far off are made near by the Blood of Christ. For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.
"Jesus is our peace" with GOD. He has broken down the wall of separation between us and Him. This is so awesome, that it is hard to imagine, but it is true. The wall of separation is gone by the Blood of JESUS, the Lamb of GOD who took away the sin of the world (John 1:29).
What was the wall of separation? What was the sign of its destruction? When did it happen? Is it possible to be in union with GOD today?
The wall of separation was sin. Sin broke the unity of man and GOD and "we were once far off" and "made near by the Blood of Christ". The sign of the destruction of the wall (sin) is the tearing of the veil of the Temple at the flesh-death of JESUS. The veil was torn from the top to the bottom, meaning that GOD ripped it. With the dividing wall torn, the Holy Place and the mercy seat was now open to all people. Once and for all time the wall of division was torn down. Peace with GOD through JESUS Christ is a reality.
The big question remains: Is it possible to be in union with GOD today? Yes, it is possible to be one with GOD and with man today. It is possible, but only with great humility. We must submit to GOD alone and follow Him day by day, night by night, always in all ways. This is what JESUS did, wants and prayed in intercession for us. Look at John 17:21 and 23. JESUS asked the Father for those who believed on the Lord JESUS to be one even as JESUS and the Father are one. Total dependency on GOD and faith in His Holy Name; the Word of GOD; discipline of prayer; the Blood of JESUS is the great lifesaver for all eternity.
I HAVE DECIDED TO FOLLOW JESUS; NO TURNING BACK. THE CROSS BEFORE ME THE WORLD BEHIND ME; NO TURNING BACK. THOUGH NONE GO WITH ME, YET I WILL FOLLOW; NO TURNING BACK; NO TURNING BACK.
