INSIGHT | David Jeremiah Daily Devotional Tuesday 13 August 2024 | Strangers to God

Recommended Reading: Ephesians 5:8-10

After Joshua and the Israelites settled in the Promised Land of Canaan, there were many “aliens” (Gentiles; non-Jews) among them. When Solomon was building the temple in Jerusalem, he took a census of the “aliens” in Israel to recruit them to work on the temple. The total was 153,600 (2 Chronicles 2:17).

Paul, addressing Gentile believers in Ephesus, described what it meant to be an alien from God: not part of “the commonwealth of Israel,” “strangers from the covenants of promise,” without hope and “without God in the world.” In other words, a bleak and hopeless existence. That was the status of Gentiles in the Old Testament, in the New Testament, and still today. “Without Christ,” Paul wrote, we were estranged from God. But with Christ, in whom all the promises of God are fulfilled (2 Corinthians 1:20), we have been “brought near” (Ephesians 2:13).

If you know someone who is a stranger to God, ask God to use you to bring them near to Him.

We are strangers here. Don’t make yourself at home. – Vance Havner
