“But now in Christ Jesus, you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13
God mapped out His saving plan for humanity in phases, and at the fullness of time, He unveiled it without leaving us out of the equation. Initially, the children of Israel and Abraham’s physical lineage seemed to have all the attention and love of God the Father. While the world languished in ignorance and total darkness, everyone wandered in these chaotic and uncertain orders of things. The bridge to the liberation and integration of all humanity into God’s one big family was already built and waiting full term for manifestation.
It was never the plan of God that anyone should be aliens, especially those he created, live outside of the covenant of promise, have no hope, and above all, live without the knowledge of God, their creator. Through the Death of Jesus, His only begotten of the dead, we who were once dead, repulsive in stench, going full throttle in trespasses and sin, have gained access into the kingdom of our king, have been quickened by mercy through grace and faith.
John 10:16 says, “I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.”
Remember, God’s love is an inclusive sanctuary where every soul finds refuge, erasing any notion of being an outsider in His divine plan. That’s why God seeks our full attention; He beckons us to take our place at the table in the palace of his glory and enjoy the full benefit that comes with being inside. No one is locked out; there is no denying that He is all-inclusive, not prejudicial, and judgmental. His love for everyone is not biased but wholly accurate and pure in all forms. You don’t have to feel inferior or condemned; there is a place for you in Christ.
God has called every one of us by name, inviting us into a deep and intimate relationship with Him. Regardless of our past mistakes, failures, or feelings of inadequacy, God’s love for us knows no bounds. Through His grace and mercy, we are welcomed back into His arms time and time again. So let us embrace this truth and walk boldly in our identity as beloved children of God, knowing that we are never alone or excluded from His magnificent plan. May we share this message of acceptance and love with others, extending the same grace we have received to all those around us. Amen. Ephesians 1:7 says, “Through Christ, have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.”
Prayer:
1. Lord, give me a full grasp and understanding of your intention to save all men and contribute my quota.
2. Holy Spirit, continue to work your perfection in me and bring me out of the darkness and into the light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
