Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 3ಮಾದರಿ

The millisecond when Jesus’s body was torn and broken in such a way that He breathed out “His last voluntarily, sovereignly breath, dismissing and releasing His spirit from His body in submission to His Father”, the veil of the temple was torn in two. This was not just a dramatic concert theatre curtain tearing.

For you, this means so much more than just being saved and going to heaven. The significance of the veil that was torn means that there can and will never be distance between you and Jesus again. Everyone now has direct access to God. An intimate, loving and authentic relationship between you and God Almighty was guaranteed forever. You don’t need to do anything to achieve it. Jesus has done it all already on the Cross. He is in you. Close to you, forever. Not only a few chosen ones may enter the holy of holies of the temple to bring an offering and maybe be forgiven. No! You have become the “temple” He chose to live in you. You are accepted, loved, empowered, free and forever now living in the most holy of Holies because of Jesus’ crucifixion. He sees you as His bride. He sees you holy. Seeing Him face to face, seeing yourself the way God sees you, being able to see and love others the way God does, and experiencing the riches of His glory and the powerful working of His Spirit in and through you, became your truth, new identity and inheritance.

Jesus has now become your dwelling place, home, safe haven, launching pad, purpose and platform from which you breathe and live. Absolutely nothing- no veil, no law, no deed, no lie can ever again create distance between you and God ever again.

1. Does it sometimes feel that there is distance between you and God? Or that you are not good enough to speak directly to Him? Can I invite you to read through 2 Cor 3:17-18, 2 Cor 5:16-19, Ephesians 2: 6-10, Ephesians 1: 3-20?

2. Can I also invite you to listen to a song entitled "You know me" by Doxa Deo Worship and to let the Holy Spirit minister to you and establish this truth in your spirit?
