"FOR THROUGH HIM [Jesus] WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS BY ONE Spirit TO THE FATHER."
Ephesians 2:18 (NKJV)
Comment: Through Jesus Christ both the Jews and the gentiles have access by His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to God the Father. Circumcision and old testament pattern of worship, observance of the law, do not bring reconciliation to God and justification in His sight. It is only through faith in the substitutionary death and resurrection of Christ Jesus that we are justified and reconciled to God:
9 MUCH MORE THEN, HAVING NOW BEEN JUSTIFIED BY HIS BLOOD, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM. 10 FOR IF WHEN WE WERE ENEMIES WE WERE RECONCILED TO GOD THROUGH THE DEATH OF HIS SON, MUCH MORE, HAVING BEEN RECONCILED, WE SHALL BE SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 AND NOT ONLY THAT, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, THROUGH WHOM WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED THE RECONCILIATION" (Romans 5:9-11 NKJV).
READ: 2 Corinthians 5:18
Thus both the Jews and the gentiles have access to God through Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:16,18).
Who we, the believers, are in Christ and Who Christ is to us, the believers, are shared in the book of Ephesians.
a. Jesus Christ is our peace Who has made both one, the Jews and the gentiles, and did break down the middle wall of separation (Ephesians 2:14).
b. Both the Jewish believers and gentile believers are one; the gentiles are fellow citizens with the saints, Jewish believers, and members of the household of God (Ephesians 2:19).
If these basic or rudiments of faith are not understood, an ignorant believer would want to discriminate and bring segregation, or factions, in the body of Christ Jesus that ought to be one. What connects everyone who professed to be of God is faith in Christ Jesus that resulted in salvation—reconciliation to God.
Having access to God the Father is not exclusive of a particular people, the Jews or whoever, white or black, but for every believer in Christ Jesus. Thus, there should be no segregation but oneness in the Body of Christ. Let the love of God which was poured out in your heart find expression today in your relationship with others: "NOW HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN TO US" (Romans 5:5 NKJV).
Peace.
