Subject: could raised from the dead be spiritual |
Bible Note: Ah, yes ma'am! In that passage Paul is using the Biblical metaphor of death. To extend that metaphor, when Adam sin, it killed the entire human race. 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). I love this epistle. Thank you for reminding us of its contents. In Him, Doc |
