Ephesians 2: One New Man

One New ManEphesians 2All unbelievers were dead in sin.Unredeemed Jews and Gentiles deserve God’s wrath.Gentiles were excluded from citizenship in Israel without hope and without God.The devil wants to keep you dead in sin, and hostile toward God and others.God’s love for all people opened His bank of mercy and grace to believers.Jesus’ death and resurrection destroyed the barrier that kept people out of God’s family. Matthew 27:51Faith is the key that opens the door to God’s family.God’s adopted children have purpose.The church is God’s holy temple.1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10Do not lose your love for God; instead, forgive others.
