Ephesians 2

Thank you, Father, that I have been brought near to you by the blood of Christ Jesus. He is my peace, and he has made me one with you and all those who are yours. Through Jesus’s life and sacrifice and resurrection, I am reconciled to you, Father, and made one with his body, the church.

I am no longer a stranger to you, my great God, but now I am a fellow citizen with the saints and a member of your household, Father, a household built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus himself being the chief corner in whom the whole kingdom fits together and grows into a holy temple to you, Father.

By your grace and call, I am a part of your eternal kingdom. I’m being built into a proper and perfect dwelling place for your Holy Spirit, Father, for your honor and glory and for my peace and joy.
