AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one [Holy] Spirit we were all baptized into one body, [spiritually transformed--united together] whether Jews or Greeks (Gentiles), slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit [since the same Holy Spirit fills each life]. [Rom 3:22; Gal 3:28] |

Bible Note: 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 |
