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.
