Dear Saints,
When Paul addresses the Ephesian church he does so reminding them that God was not respecter of any one person. Yet in the church we divide and tear apart without regard. Let us pray that denominational divisions, personal opinions and modern day law is put out of the body of Christ. Let us not judge but extend the love of God to all peoples all nations all tribes and all walks of life!!! Let us Praise the Lord for counting all of mankind worthy of His Grace.
Shalom,
Apostle Brenda D. Cooper
Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts. In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope. But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.
Ephesians 2:11-15 NLT
