Ephesians 2

Commentary

Ephesians 2 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of God's grace and mercy. Paul begins by reminding us that we were once dead in our sins and trespasses, but that God, in His great love and mercy, made us alive in Christ. He reminds us that it is by grace that we have been saved, not by our own works or efforts. Paul then goes on to explain that we are now part of a new people, the people of God, and that we are no longer strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household. He also reminds us that we have been brought near to God through the blood of Christ, and that we are now part of a new temple, the temple of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets. Paul then goes on to explain that we are now part of a new covenant, the covenant of peace, and that we are now part of a new family, the family of God. He reminds us that we are now part of a new kingdom, the kingdom of God, and that we are now part of a new body, the body of Christ. Finally, Paul reminds us that we are now part of a new life, the life of Christ, and that we are now part of a new hope, the hope of glory. Ephesians 2 is a powerful reminder of the power of God's grace and mercy, and of the new life that we have in Christ. It is a reminder that we are no longer strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household. It is a reminder that we have been brought near to God through the blood of Christ,
