Ephesians 2:11-22

Welcome to episode 176 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Ephesians, covering chapter 2:11-22.  Today we cover:      
 

•  We were two people Jew and please don't Gentile
•  But now through Christ we are one.
• We have the same promises.
• We are one people and one body. Come on everybody

Key takeaways:

• Paul first shares that we were all lost and totally depraved, then he shares that Gentiles were strangers without hope.
• But God made you alive, and now, in Christ, you are also one new man. 
• Transcendent reconciliation is when He not only reconciles us to Himself but also to each other. 

Quotable:

• Main Idea: “God's restoration goes beyond our most desperate need to include our every need.”
• “So, Gentiles remember that not only were you dead but you were hopeless because you didn't have the same promises Israel had. BUT NOW!”
• In Christ, God accomplishes His mission of reconciliation. 
• “He did this all to show the matchless love and grace of God.”

Application:

• We must get the vertical relationship (with God) first before we have any hope of getting out horizontal relationships (with others) right.
• I’ve got to get right with God first.
