"For God in all his fullness
was pleased to live in Christ,
and through him God reconciled
everything to himself.
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth
by means of Christ's blood on the cross.
This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault."

Ponder what Jesus accomplished on the cross: He reconciled everything to himself. And Jesus is the complete fullness of God, the exact image of God. Now in Jesus you are reconciled with God. Once you were estranged, but now you are counted as friend rather than enemy! You can live in his presence and stand before him completely shameless, without fault—not because of one thing you have done, but because of what Jesus has done. Go forth today, knowing that you are in the presence of God at all times.
