Ephesians 2

I was once far off, separated from God, and without hope in this world. But now, in Christ Jesus, I have been brought near by your blood, Lord Jesus. You, yourself, are my peace. You have made me one with you and the Father.

You have created a new man in me. Now I am forgiven and redeemed and brought back to God, our father. I am reconciled to God and made a part of your body, Lord Jesus, through your cross. Through you, I have access, by one spirit, to God and to the kingdom of God.

Now I am no longer a stranger or a foreigner, instead, I am a fellow citizen with the saints and a member of your household, Lord God. Your house is built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, with you, Lord Jesus, as the chief cornerstone.

In you, the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple to our father, while I and all who believe are made a dwelling place for you, Holy Spirit.

I am led by you, Holy Spirit, and I walk in the good works that God, our father, ordained to beforehand to be my mission.
