It Is Christ Who Has Established Peace Between Us

 Individually and collectively, the Church is the temple of the living God and each one is a living stone that is being built up into God's own spiritual temple,  we are one in Christ and in Him we are being carefully fitted together. Together we are growing, day by day, into His beautiful holy residence.
 It is in Christ that both groups been formed into one, breaking down the dividing walls of animosity between us and abolishing the enmity which came from the Law. It Is Christ Who Has Established Peace Between Us, and Christ Who has reconciled us together in one Body to God, through the Cross. Christ has given us access by one Spirit to the Father, and only through Christ are we no longer strangers and aliens to our Creator God, but fellow citizens. In Christ we have been made children of God and accepted into His heavenly household.
 It is the gospel of Christ upon which our faith is founded, and it is Christ Jesus Himself Who is the Foundation Stone upon which His Church is being built. It is through Christ that: "The whole building is being fitted together and growing into a holy temple, in the Lord."
In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we have been brought near by the blood of Christ and have been made one with Him, by means of His death, burial, and Resurrection. Thank You that You have brought together into one Body, all who have trusted Jesus as their Savior, and that we are all being built-up and fitted together as Your holy residence. Help us to walk worthy of our callings, and may You be glorified in all we say and do, until that glorious day when You come to take us to be with Yourself in the clouds of glory. Praise Your holy name, AMEN.
