“For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit”. Ephesians 2:18 (NIV)
No other religions in the world are like Christianity and Christianity is not a religion. To be a Christian is having a personal relationship with God in Christ by the Holy Spirit’s indwelling. That is why this promise is so very precious and wonderful. Every person who has believed in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior has direct access to God the Father. It is among the spiritual blessings that are ours here and in heaven. All other religions require a person to reach up to a god and grasp ahold of whatever it is by their own efforts. Christianity is the only belief where the true and only God reaches down to humans. In this letter from Paul to the church in Ephesus, the Apostle is teaching that the distinctions between all people has been removed. Those far off and excluded have now been brought close and joined with those who are near. Giving BOTH direct access to God. No more intermediaries are necessary for us to appeal to and worship God. This is a promise that in Christ we have the only mediator we’ll ever need. (1 Timothy 2:5)
