Ephesians 2:18

“for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father”

“Through Him”: Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:13; Ephesians 2:15). “Access”: Admission. “It was used in Greek society for the right to approach, as when. person received an introduction to the king” (Boles p. 236). “It is the word used for introducing. speaker or an ambassador into. national assembly; and above all it is the word used for introducing. person into the presence of. king” (Barclay p. 117). “In one Spirit”: Note how every person in the Godhead is part of this process. The Father desires and planned the reconciliation, the Son sacrificed Himself for it and the Spirit guided the apostles and prophets to proclaim the good news of it to the world (Ephesians 3:3-5). Hence access to God can only be found by obeying the message delivered by the Spirit, and the Spirit only delivered one message (Ephesians 4:5 “one faith”). This access is not mysterious but rather the one Spirit reveals the terms of this admission.
