Ephesians 2꞉13 | But Now Made Nigh by the Blood of Christ

The sermon examines Ephesians 2:13 to explain how believers transition from being spiritually distant to having direct access to God through the blood of Christ. It contrasts the Old Testament limitation, where Israel was warned to worship afar off, with the New Testament privilege of entering the holiest place with boldness. The central theme emphasizes that this change is an objective standing secured by faith in Jesus, not a subjective feeling or a result of religious works. The message challenges listeners to distinguish between their fluctuating spiritual state and their permanent standing, urging them to rely on the finished work of the cross for assurance and fellowship.
