That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth 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. For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the Law of Commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that He might reconcile both unto GOD in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. (Eph 2:12-18)
For the most part, though GOD never rejects any one that comes to Him in true faith and repentance, the Gentiles, unless they converted to Judaism after a lengthy process were excluded from the Jewish religion. Through the Gospel we are now brought nigh unto GOD, not by our own merits, or works of the Law, for the Law cannot save any body, but by His grace and mercy. The Law is our schoolmaster to show us our need of Him, whether the Jews that kept the Law by faith in the Lawgiver, or Gentiles who by doing the works of the Law become a law unto themselves, all are in need of Christ and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary in our place to pay our sIn debt.
He is the only way of Salvation for He was without sIn, and became sIn for us, that we might live unto righteousness and holiness in Him through faith and His Spirit within us. We are not free from the Law to live in sIn, but we are at liberty to live His life in us free from its ordinances and at peace with GOD who is our life. He has made us who know Him and are in a right relationship with GOD through Jesus Christ new creatures, the old is passed away and we are to now to walk in Him both to do and to will of His good pleasure.
We are called to serve Him as we serve others, His ambassadors representing His Kingdom as we minister to those around us who are hurting and in need that others might see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. We are commanded to love one another and disciple one another in the Word of GOD as we grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ who is the head of the body, and we are members in particular. We are commissioned to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and as we go, tell every one we meet the Good News so that those who repent of their sins and believe in Him might have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
