Look what Jesus did!

Colossian 1:21-22 "And you,that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled;In the body of his flesh through death,to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in his sight:"

People are in rebillion against God,their Creator.Reconciliation is needed to repair this breach between God and humanity caused by sin. Just as Jesus Christ is the word by which everything made was made ,he is also the means by which God would reconcile people to himself. Jesus died to make peace with God possible for all who would believe in him.

Those whom God befriends through Christ are now regarded as "holy in his sight". We are made the righteousness of God, through the blood of Jesus.Believers in Jesus Christ are positioned before God, as holy by virtue of Christ's merits applied to them.
Therefore in Christ, all Christians are "unblameable" before God.When we continue in our faith, it is evidence to others, that we belong to Christ.Through our obedience we remain grounded in the faith in the gospel.

Look what Jesus did,he has repaired a relationship that had been broken since Adam sinned.We don't ever have to hide from God again, as Adam did in the garden.We can know him not just as Lord and savior, but as a friend who has forgiven us a great debt. Calvery's bridge was costly to build, but without it the great gulf between God and us would never have been bridged. Thank you Jesus for the gift of salvation.
