Because God called us to peace with Himself in Christ, by His living presence within us, we can come to Him now! The foundation of God's house is Jesus Christ, and we are as living stones built upon that foundation. This is the temple, the real church, that we worship from so He can live in us. No longer a stranger or one from another country, but His!
Ephesians 2:17-22
17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
