I agree, brother Ray. Ephesians up to this point is about God's eternal purpose. He is building a temple, a dwelling place for Himself. However, He has two main problems: Dead people (2:5a) and divided people (2:12). So first He makes dead people alive (2:5b-6a) and then He draws divided people together (2:13b-19). Imagine, God has made us a part of a Plan: What kind of thing have any men been involved in that can compare? Which one of us have ever been involved in a plan that spanned decades, let alone centuries, or millenia? Yet this incredible Plan of God's spans eternity itself! No wonder Paul can hardly contain himself. It is as though he runs out of superlatives! Sorry... didn't mean to get us off the subject! In Him, Doc |

Hi Doctrinsograce, I think that you have a good observation with your dead people and divided people. As an aside, the NKJ has reading for Ephesians 2:1, "And you [He made alive] who were in trespasses and sins,..." However, I would interpret/translate that "He made alive" as being rightfully in verse 5. Ephesians 2:5, "even when we were dead in our transgressions He made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)." From the heart,Ray |
