Brought Near by the Blood of Christ

Illustration of Ephesians 2:12-13 NLT

Illustration of Ephesians 2:12-13 NLT -- In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope. But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.
