Ephesians 2

Once I was far from you, Father, without Christ and without hope. But by grace and faith, given to me by you, Father, I was saved.

Now I am your special work, created in Christ Jesus for good works which you, Father, prepared beforehand that I would walk in. Once I was far off but now, I have been brought near to you, Father God, by the blood of Christ.

You, Lord Jesus, are my peace, and you have made all God’s people, whether Jew or Gentile, one. In effect, you have created in yourself one new man and reconciled all of us back to God in one body, through your life, sacrifice, and resurrection.

Now through you, Lord Jesus, we have access by one Spirit to God, our Father. Now I am no longer a stranger to God, but now, I am a fellow citizen with the saints and a member of the household of God.

My knowledge of and faith in these things is based on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Lord Jesus, you yourself are the chief cornerstone in whom the whole assured salvation is fitted together and grows into a holy temple.

I also have been built into that temple to be part of a dwelling place of God through you, Holy Spirit.
