How are people who were far off made near to God?
Those who were far off are made near to God by the blood of Jesus. It is not by keeping the Law, not by practicing temple worship, not by animal sacrifice, but by the blood of Jesus. This is what made the difference, and it is announced to us Gentiles.
Les teaches that in Christ Jesus, those who were once far off are made nigh. He emphasizes the contrast: it is not by keeping the Law, not by practicing temple worship, not by animal sacrifice, but by the blood of Jesus. That is what made the difference. He further explains that it is now announced to us Gentiles that everything that has been done has been done for us.
