Paul taught that in the last days, God would “gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him” – Ephesians 1:10
.
What is it the God’s is gathering? It’s the only thing that matters to Him, and that is Us, His children, His family.
.
He desires to bring all His family together safely in love through Christ.
.
Through Christ’s suffering for our sins, His heart became bound to us, and ours to Him, as children of our Heavenly Father.
.
We are made one in Christ through His sanctifying atonement, which brings us back to God’s presence together as the family of our Heavenly Father.
.
“For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,” – Hebrews 2:10-11.
