Studies in Ephesians Fellow Citizens Ephesians 2:19-22

Ephesians 2 We were dead in trespasses Made alive by His grace Though our faith (obedient) Gentiles were without hope and without God But Christ broke down the wall of separation Through Him we access to the Father by the Spirit

Fellow Citizens Strangers and foreigners For us – any one who is without Christ!

Fellow Citizens Fellow citizens – Συμπολίτης, (sympolitēs) Members of a particular state (government) The kingdom is in existence (Col. 1:13, cf. Matt. 16:19) We are equal - fellows

Fellow Citizens Saints – ἅγιος, (hagios) Set apart. Under Old Covenant (the Jews) Now ALL the saved (1 Cor. 1:2, 2 Cor. 1:1, Phil. 1:1, Eph. 1:1) Eph. 4:12, 6:18 Galatians 3:27-29 – we are all now ONE

Household of God Members of the same family Not second class, but family! Children of God John 1:12, Rom. 8:16-17, Phil. 2:15, 1 John 3:1, 5:2 – How? Keep His commandments Brethren – Rom. 12:1, Eph. 6:10, Heb. 3:1

Built on the foundation… Built upon Christ Matt. 16:18 Ephesians 1:22-23 1 Cor. 3:11 Chief cornerstone – Luke 12:17, Acts 4:11, 1 Pet. 2:4-8 – Psa. 118:22 (also Isa. 28:16)

Built on the foundation… Built upon His word The apostles (and other inspired men) 1 Cor. 3:9-10 (fellow workers, συνεργός, synergos [English – synergy]) God’s word was what they built with together - Gal. 1:11-12, John 14:26, 16:13, Eph. 3:3-5

Built on the foundation… Built upon His word Prophets In the church - Eph. 4:11, 1 Cor. 12:28, Rom. 12:6 Old Testament – 2 Pet. 1:19-21, 1 Pet. 1:10-12

Built on the foundation… Built upon His word Eph. 4:11, 1 Cor. 12:28 Notice how these offices are related to His word! 2 Pet. 3:1-2, Be mindful of the words spoken by prophets and apostles

A building fitted together Described as a building Joined together, based upon the “blueprint” Just like a body – 1 Cor. 12:12-27, Rom. 12:4 The point – unity, working together 1 Cor. 1:10, Rom. 12:16, Phil. 1:27, John 13:34-35

Grows into a holy temple Unity promotes growth Eph. 4:16 Temple – a place of worship to God. Under Old Law, the temple was where Israel met with God. Psalm 5:7, 11:4, 27:4, 68:29, 138:2, etc. As the church, we come together to worship – Acts 20:7 We are priests – 1 Pet. 2:4-5,9-10, Heb. 13:15-16

Grows into a holy temple “in the Lord” Col. 3:17, By His authority

Grows into a holy temple A dwelling place of God in the Spirit When we are united, God is welcome! He is glorified. Psa. 133:1 1 Cor. 3:16-17 When we are not what we ought to be, we are in danger of losing our relationship with him

Are you a citizen in His kingdom?
