<p>This week the HelloMornings study was from Ephesians 2:11-22, about The Reconciler of Mankind. And this is what God has been teaching me from these verses:<br />
<a href="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130921-075553.jpg"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" src="https://i0.wp.com/helengullett.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130921-075553.jpg?w=760" alt="20130921-075553.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" /></a></p>
<p>Once before&#8230;<br />
I lived apart from God.<br />
I was an outsider.<br />
I lived without God.<br />
I lived without hope.</p>
<p>But now&#8230;<br />
God made Christ Jesus to be our peace.<br />
He came and preached the peace to us.<br />
He is the reconciler.<br />
He made Jesus the cornerstone.</p>
<p>I am saved and redeemed.<br />
I am bought by the blood of Christ.<br />
I am part of His family.<br />
I am an insider in His kingdom.<br />
I can go to God the Father through Christ  in the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>You are saved and redeemed.<br />
You are bought by the blood of Christ.<br />
You are part of His family.<br />
You are an insider in His kingdom.<br />
You  can go to God to the Father through Christ in the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>Today, I link up this post at <a href="http://www.hellomornings.org/the-reconciler-of-mankind/"><strong>HelloMorning blogs</strong></a> and you can find more encouraging posts from what God has taught them through reading of His word in the book of Ephesians.</p>
