THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
When our son, Bobby, was about 3 years of age, he had a teddy bear with which he played often.
One day, I noticed that one of the seams of the teddy bear were broken. I pointed to it, and told Bobby, "We need to get Mom to fix that."
He took the bear to Ann, and said, "Mom, can you fix Teddy? He's coming from together!"

Eph 2:18-22
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
KJV

Oh! The "unspeakable riches" which we have in Christ!!
The visitation of His grace upon us yielded our souls to Him as Lord. And He has adopted us into His family. Thus, we have immediate and continual "access" to God through Christ!
NO MORE "strangers"!! We are now "fellowcitizens" with Noah, Abraham, David, Isaiah, Peter, James and John, et al!! We have great company with past sinners saved! And we have great fellowship with the present "household of God!"
God has laid us in His house as "stones" upon the "Corner Stone," Jesus! Being part of the framework of His Holy Temple (now and forever), we have functionality. There is purpose in our being! Work to be done!
We are "fitly framed together" to present God's indwelling Spirit and Presence to this world. It is our privilege to show the world our Lord, Who has called us "out of darkness into His marvelous light!" (1Peter 2:9)
And we are "builded together for an habitation of God!"
Oh wonderful thought! That God would dwell in me!
Oh great joy! That God would dwell in you!
Thus, He becomes the glue that holds us "together!"
Love ya,
Bruce
