Psalm 84 (2)

Dear friends. We love the dwelling place of God and we desire God's presence. His presence is forever accessible to us. Did you ask how could people unholy like us dwelling with God? I still remembered the first time I went to church, I was so shy because the church is such a holy place. Back to the question. We are not holy. It is 100% guaranteed. None of us is holy but Jesus Christ gave his holiness to us. His holiness became ours. His holiness not only cleaned our sin and guilt but also brought us before God by tearing down the wall between holy and unholy, God, and his enemy. Because Jesus was crucified on the cross, we can have the church as our home. He is the only reason. He purchased the church for himself. The church is not a building but a home for people who Jesus loved too dearly to die for. Christ is the only foundation for this home. Christ alone gives life to the church so that she can shine the truth to the world. Martin Luther once said that church is lovely not by our passion but because of truth founded in Jesus Christ alone. Jesus has purchased real peace to his people at his home.
