The Wall. For people living in East Germany over 50 years ago, those two words were the only ones necessary to describe the barrier erected on August 13, 1961. That date marked the beginning of the construction of a concrete barrier that separated East and West Germany. Eventually, the wall became nearly impenetrablesecured with barbed wire and armed men. But in 1989 the wall was torn down, removing the barrier between the countries.
Another wall needs to be removed as wellthe wall between humanity and God. That barrier was built in the Garden of Eden when a man and a woman committed the first act of rebellion against God (Gen. 3). And we all have continued that rebellion ever since! Can you visualize that impenetrable wall? Isaiah 59:2 says: Your sins . . . have cut you off from God (nlt).
Jesus death and resurrection, however, has made reconciliation with God possible (2 Cor. 5:17-21). All those who accept Christs sacrifice for sin will have the barrier of sin torn down and be reconciled to God. Christs death has also demolished other restrictive wallsbetween the Jews and Gentiles, slave and free, male and female (Gal. 3:28).
Dont let your own wall of indecision prevent you from accepting Gods gift of salvation.
Read: Ephesians 2:14-18
