In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. (Ephesians 1:7-10 ESV)

We on earth are united with that which is in heaven through the blood of Jesus Christ. We are forgiven, counted as righteous to the God of all things only through the sacrifice made by Jesus to become as one with our maker. That is a powerful truth and let us not lose wonder and awe in what Jesus has done for us for without him we can do nothing.
