“That
at that time, ye were without Christ, being aliens from the common wealth of
Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and
without God in the world: But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by
the blood of Christ”
(Ephesians 2:12-13)
An
alien is simply a creature from another world. An unbeliever is still an alien
as far as heaven is concerned. Being born again is the visa (permanent
citizenship, green card) that secures your place in the country called heaven
and this is only possible by the blood of Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus is
our access route; our key to heaven.
Paul
also writing to the Hebrew Christians said “Having therefore, brethren boldness
to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus” (Hebrew 10:19). The blood of
Jesus gives us confidence to approach His throne.
You
are not an alien but a citizen of heaven, the blood gives you access. The blood
gives you boldness to come to Him. Yes! you can lift up your hand and worship
Him. Your past is not an issue; He was and still is for you yesterday, today
and forever not just tomorrow but forever, you can be bold with Him today.
Prayer/Confession:
I am a citizen of heaven, bought by the blood of Jesus, I have boldness to
stand in His presence, because the blood cleanses me, sets me free. I am saved
indeed, bought and fully paid for, in Jesus name.
