EPHESIANS: The Blood of Christ Gives All People Access to God the Father; "For through Him we have access by one Spirit to the Father!"

Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:11-13)

If we still have any doubt that Christ Jesus is the only way to God, these verses should reiterate that fact.  Remember, God required that Abraham and his descendants be circumcised, "... and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me [God] and you [Abraham]." (Genesis 17:11) Well, if a non-Jew wanted to be counted as a part of the commonwealth of Israel, and for example take part in the Passover, "...let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it. One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.” (Exodus 12:48-49)

Not too many people would want to have to be circumcised in order to be accepted by God; But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. No more animal sacrifices needed, no more physical acts of sacrifice needed, just faith in the blood of Christ! The apostles dealt with this conflict regarding the Gentiles when the church started, when certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” (Acts 15:1) 

Peter rose up and said to them: “Men and brethren, you know that a good while ago God chose among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. So God, who knows the heart, acknowledged them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He did to us, and made no distinction between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved in the same manner as they.” (Acts 15:7-11)

The children of Israel had the covenants of promise, but keeping those covenants didn't save them, a yoke their forefathers nor the disciples were able to bear.  The blood of Christ Jesus, purifying our hearts by faith, and the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ saves ALL of us, regardless of whether we are Jew or non-Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised.

For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. (Ephesians 2:14-18) 

If you've heard someone say the Bible doesn't mention the trinity, here is a verse for them.  Through Christ Jesus, through His one body through the cross, we have access by one Spirit to the Father - Father, Son and Holy Spirit!  Christ Jesus has broken down the middle wall of separation, the law of commandments contained in ordinances.  How? By dying on the cross in our place for our sins.  Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Then the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in two. And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’” Having said this, He breathed His last. (Luke 23:44-46; Matthew 27:45-50; Mark 15:33-39)

When Christ Jesus died on the cross, what had once separated us from God was removed; For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.  Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22) AMEN!
