Paul says you are no longer a stranger. You are a fellow citizen. You are a member of God's household. And together, we are being built into something bigger than ourselves. The church is not just a collection of individuals — it is a temple being built by God Himself. Every person is a living stone in that building. You are part of something eternal.
Lord, thank You that I am no longer a stranger. Help me live as a member of Your household and take my place in what You are building.
