And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Ephesians 2:17-18
People who deny the Trinity of God, I want to you read this scripture carefully, “Through Him (Christ) we both have access by One Spirit (Holy Spirit) unto the Father (God) We see the Father, Son , and Holy Spirit all mentioned in this scripture, all working together in the Triunity of the Godhead.
Through Jesus Christ, we are reconciled back to our Heavenly Father and baptized and filled by the Holy Spirit. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all essential to your salvation, to deny one of them is to deny all of them. Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God Almighty, the blessed Trinity
Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22
Before we became Born Again in Christ, we were strangers to God, why? Because even though we are made in the image of God, we were separated from God due to our sin. It’s a false teaching to tell everyone they are automatically a Child of God. You can only be reconciled back to God if you become Born Again through Christ and be filled with the Holy Spirit
Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone, as prophesied throughout the Old Testament. Christ is the Rock, we build the foundation of our faith on. Christ is the foundation of our entire life, without Christ there is no foundation and we will crumble from building on the sand.
Notice again the Triune language used by Paul, “Unto a Holy Temple in The Lord (Jesus), in whom you also are builded together for an habitation of God (Father) through the Spirit (Holy Spirit)” We see the Triune Godhead working together for our salvation
How do we become saved? It’s only through Jesus Christ the Son of God. How do we become reconciled back to God our Father? It’s only through Jesus Christ the Son of God. How do we get baptized by the Holy Spirit? It’s only through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Amen!
