Don’t let your conscience be your guide. Let the context be your guide!

Ephesians What the House of God is. How we are to live in the House of God.

Between Jew and Gentile Alienation Between Jew and Gentile This alienation is resolved in only one place, by One Man who produced an indivisible House.

“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13

“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13

The context is our guide. “in Christ Jesus” The context is our guide. Ephesians 1:22-23.

“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13

How did this change occur? A change has come to be from what was to what is, from then to now. How did this change occur?

“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Ephesians 2:13

“For he is our peace…, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” Ephesians 2:14

Peace is the result of joining. The one who joins is The Joiner. “peace” – from a verb meaning “to join.” Peace is the result of joining. The one who joins is The Joiner.

Three statements defining “…he is our peace…” “He is The Joiner of us” Three statements defining The Joiner moving from general to specific.

“For he is our peace, who hath made both one…, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” Ephesians 2:14

The Joiner produces one without even the slightest separation. The Joiner produces not two who are now close, in good fellowship with little separation. The Joiner produces one without even the slightest separation.

“For he is our peace, who hath made both one and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” Ephesians 2:14

Gentile Jew Separate Alienated Divided

Jesus The Joiner Makes both one

“Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances...” Ephesians 2:15

The middle wall of partition pictured in the Temple is actually “the law of commandments contained in ordinances.”

The House of God is the one place on earth where everything presented in Ephesians takes place.

living in His House that’s made one complete house The complete plan of the Heavenly Father is for you to be one of His children who is living in His House that’s made one complete house by The Joiner, Jesus Christ.
