And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
:17y-18
Christ crossed the void
“For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.
English Standard Version Chapter 30
11 “For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. 12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ 14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it.

Through the blood of Christ we have access in One Spirit to the father
What does access in One Spirit to the father mean?
Salvation
Deposit of Salvation
He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
b. Literal Salvation
Literal Salvation
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
2. Conscience, Conviction and God’s Direction
a. Conviction for the lost
Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
i. Realization your a sinner
ii. Realization your need for a Savior.
b. Conviction for the saved
And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
c. Affirmation
i. God reaffirms Obedience
By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.
3. Prayer and Intercession
1 John
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
4. Teacher & Guide
a. Correct interpretation of the Scripture
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
b. Transformation/Sanctification
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
c. Obedience and Fruits of the Spirit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
