Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(Eph 2:15) “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity….. (16) And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:”  “Reconcile”: to bring to parties back to fellowship. God’s holy nature could not, though, simply overlook our sin. He could not just say, “That’s ok. I understand you are but sinful flesh.” Holiness demands judgment. So, He did what no man could do for himself. He came as Jesus the Son, lives the life we should have led in love and devotion and obedience to the Father, and then sacrificed that life to pay for our sins. He did the reconciling (the making of the way) Himself! If only the world truly knew! God help us to seek opportunities to clearly explain, taking no short cuts!
