Access Denied then Granted
Series Every Word in Ephesians
To have access to the presence of God after all I have done, without being consumed, is an unspeakably glorious privilege.
How many religions theorise and teach on how to gain access to God? Maybe more to the point is, how many world religions do not teach ideas on how to gain access to God? Access to God is denied, with one exception--through Jesus Christ. Mankind lost access to God in the fall, and there is only one way back.
Sadly, you could ask many people today, how to gain access to God, and you would hear many answers; answers that range dramatically. Yet only Jesus takes your personal world of sin into consideration and deals with it properly.
Only Jesus provides a glorious life to God, a life that He gives to you; sharing His righteousness with you!
Only Jesus provids the Holy Spirit to give you the desire and ability to believe in God.
Only through Jesus do you have the Holy Spirit interceding with God for you.
Only through Jesus do you have access to God the Father, as a child of God.
Only through Jesus can God love you as a child.
Access that was once denied, is now granted to individuals through Jesus. Nothing else matters.
