121 Brought Near Kitchen Table Theology

Jen and Pastor Jeff discuss how we were once far away from God, but now we have been united through the blood of Christ. This has changed our condition dramatically, from being lost and pagan to saints in Christ. Now we belong to the Lord and are under new ownership, having been transferred from darkness to light and from one kingdom to another. We are also united in Christ, meaning that we are partnered with him and are one. The cross is the instrument of reconciliation and we need to remember that it's finished the hostility and transformed us from enemies to friends.
