Paul continues to teach the Gentiles that though they were one far off from God, alienated from His revelation to the Jew, NOW through the blood of Christ, they are brought near, He, God Himself, has made a third race of Born-Again Jew and Gentile believers. He, by the blood of Jesus removed the dividing wall of bitterness and death between Jew and Gentile, and made those converts "living stones" in the new Temple that Holy Spirit is building to house the very presence of God.
