Remember That?

“Remember that at that time you were
separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship
in Israel and foreigners to the covenants
of the promise, without hope and without
God in the World.” (Ephesians 2:12)

“Remember” . . . that line spoken by Spock into the mind of Doctor McCoy in the Star Trek Series. . . “Remember” . . . the word was powerfully spoken because it had great significance for the future of mankind . . . that was a time from the make-believe. But in the real world where we human beings live each moment, this important word “remember” takes on eternal significance that determines one’s destiny.

“Remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.”

I do remember that time . . . I remember when I lived my life completely void of God. I remember that I had no interest in Jesus Christ . . . other than to use it in vein! Is this where you are NOW? The word “Remember” has no point of reference or does it? The words “at that time” have no meaning to a non-believer . . . there was no time or date where they can say, “I do remember” that time when I heard the Good News that Jesus forgives. My friend you are hearing or reading it now. Now you have a remember time when these words are going into your mind. You are without excuse. Remember that at that time which is now you are separated from Christ, excluded from citizenship in heaven . . . without hope . . . without the love of God . . . but now that you have a “remember” time you can have newness of life . . . now that is worth remembering!

A life now that is enlightened and eternal. A new life that is glorious! But, it’s up to you to remember that your sin separates. Our Jesus blood seals the covenant of grace; confession sanctifies the soul and redeems the sinner. Remember . . . the blood of the Son of God is precious, priceless and powerful, able to save a wretch like me and you. . . REMEMBER THAT!

In His grace,
