Plan of salvation

 DAILY DEVOTION MCZ MISSION DEPARTMENT

Ephesians 2:13-14 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.[14]For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation.

The plan of salvation was so that we, having been separated from God because of sin, may be brought back into a close relationship with Him. God, being holy and pure could not enter into a relationship with sinners. He however did not turn from us but planned to send His son Jesus Christ to be the sacrificial lamb. His death broke down the barrier that kept us far from God and ushered in the remission of sin.

Salvation therefore brings the peace of God into our hearts through Christ. He is the One who satisfies us and fills every void we may have. Many will seek fulfillment and happiness in the things of this world but never find rest. Jesus promises those who seek and find Him that He will be their peace. In the midst of all storms, He will calm us and assure us of His love. 

Therefore we who have accepted Christ as our Lord and Saviour, must embrace the abundance that is found in our Lord. Let us forsake the old urges that made us to turn to sinful solutions. Being new creatures in Christ, we must intentionally seek Him in all things because He is there to fulfill all our needs.

Prayer

As I have accepted Christ into my life, I put my trust in Him and bring every issue for Him to handle because He is my peace, Amen.
