| At that time ye 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, ye who sometime were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. (Eph. 2:12‑13) |
| The promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off. (Acts 2:39) |
| Is He the God of the Jews only? is He not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also. (Rom. 3:29) |
Though our nature’s fall in Adam
Seemed to shut us out from God,
Thus it was His counsel brought us
Nearer still, through Jesus’ blood;
For in Him we found redemption,
Grace and glory in the Son;
Oh the height and depth of mercy!
Christ and we, through grace, are one. |
