Ephesians 2:16-17

King James Version (KJV)

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

16And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having killed the enmity by it. 17And he came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

16 We are united to God by receiving Jesus as Lord; He is our Savior from what we deserve. Jesus died and the sins we commit died with Him, this is why the only sin that is unforgiving is not receiving the Holy Spirit or blaspheming the Holy Ghost.

17 Jesus did not go to a big area but did go to the places most did not in that area place such a Samaria which most would avoid. Jesus impact affected the world and Rome could not stop this effect and years later embraced it and made it their own. Jesus did not just spread the message to the Jews but spread it to anyone He came into contact that would listen, we should follow the example He set, we will not be able to live up to it but it should be what we strive for.

Philippians 1:15-18

King James Version (KJV)

15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

15Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace, 16And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having killed the enmity by it. 17And he came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18For through him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. 19Now

15 Some who claim Christ do in an attitude to look good themselves or to make others look good, this is not what good wants. We should do good things just because God wants us to do them. We do things out of love, a love that we have received from Him first.

16 The gospel is a gospel of love if we defend the gospel it should be done out of love and not hate and if we can not balance the two we are not called to defend the gospel because we as believers are all called to love. Paul defended the gospel out of love as should we.

17 Many people make money off the name of Christ, if they could not money off His name would they be sharing His name like they do. Many people wanted to get rid of Paul even some of the faith had problems with him at a point even Peter had trouble with Paul but he got pass that others did not get past their feelings toward Paul.

18 Even those who proclaim the gospel out of mocking those who preach men have been saved. Their was a now famous preacher who preached before crowds and some of these people did not like what they heard and went to bars and mocked him and men heard and accepted the truth out of the mockery of the truth. The Lord can do wonders like this. Now days the gospel can be spread more easily than ever before, phone, internet, email, forums, chat rooms, in person at church or else where, we should take advantage of these opportunities as God leads us to.

Ephesians 2:14-15

King James Version (KJV)

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;

14 Our peace is given by Jesus thru having the Holy Spirit which is also referred to as the Great Comforter. Jesus is also known as the Prince of Peace. He will end all wars when He returns. There should not be division in Christ, we would serve Christ should not be divided by how we serve Christ but come together in our differences. We are of the one church the church He came to form but man has divided the church the Lord built thru His death.

15 We are made thru Him by the Spirit and are flesh will start to go away, this will always be a struggle, the flesh and the spirit. There are many laws an ordinances that are in the word, we are found guilty by them but are forgiven by Christ. Jesus alone lived by the law and we now as believers live by Him.

Ephesians 2:11-13

King James Version (KJV)

11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

11Therefore remember, that in time past you being Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by those who are called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands, 12That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world, 13But now in Christ Jesus you who sometime were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

11 The Jewish born looked down on the Gentiles because they were not circumcised and not children of Abraham. The Gentiles came to Christ and He made them clean, the Jews thought they were clean because of the law but their hearts were very unclean because they rejected Christ as Lord.

12 We are without hope if we did not have Jesus, there was a time before we had Him as Lord and we only received hope because us crying out unto the Lord and then receiving Him. The Jews had blessing from God because they were children of Abraham but they rejected the greatest blessing Jesus Christ, we are blessed because of Him as Gentiles.

13 Because of Jesus we can come and have fellowship with god by the blood covering our sins from Jesus dying on the cross and us receiving forgiveness because of it. We have a restored relationship with Him one that is free us burnt offerings and Passover lambs because He was our final Passover lamb. His blood can cover all sin. We are made free from sin by Him. Sin keeps us from fellowshipping with God because God hates sin but our sins are forgotten by God because they are under the blood, for those who have received Him.

Ephesians 2:8-10

King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

8For by grace, you are saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has ordained before that we should walk in them.

8 We are saved by grace, we can do nothing to earn it is free to us but, it did have a price that cost Christ His life. We could not earn salvation my any means ourselves if we could than Christ would not have came to die but He is the only way to receive grace.

9 Boasting often show pride coming to salvation should be humbling because there was no way we could come to Him but by Christ which we can because of grace. To many times people want to do something to gain credit and show focus on them but, we should always bring focus to Him because we can not earn our salvation but it is given to us to spread praise not about ourselves but of Him.

10 We can not work for salvation but because of salvation He works thru us. We will do works because of salvation because after we come to faith He will work thru us for the better purpose. The works He leads us to do not give us salvation but are done because of our salvation.
