What He Has Done to Make Us One

Ephesians, Volume 1

While Ephesians 2:1-10 reminds us that we are God's masterpiece, verse 11 explains that we are have a vile, rebellious ancestry, without hope because of our separation from God. But now, we who were formerly far from God have been brought near by the blood of Jesus Christ, since Christ did away with the law and allows all of us to live by grace if we accept His provision.

Todd Wagner • Sep 17, 1995 • Ephesians 2:11-22

About 'Ephesians, Volume 1'

Most people are desperately looking for answers to such age-old human dilemmas as violence, greed and racism; not to mention personal pain and disappointment with our own duplicity and lack of fulfillment. In this series on the book of Ephesians, Todd Wagner challenges us to open our eyes to the truth that Christ has called us to be part of a completely new society called the Church. Our highest calling then is to be men and women whose lives have been regenerated and empowered through faith in Christ.  Our 21st century challenges are not unlike those faced by followers of Christ in first century Ephesus. The Apostle Paul, author of this letter to the Ephesians, emphasizes that the problem with the Church then and today is not that God hasn't given it everything necessary to be successful in its mission. Rather, our problem is like that of a wealthy miser who dies of starvation rather than dip into the abundance of resources at his disposal. Allow yourself to be challenged and encouraged by this ancient letter that adroitly analyzes the plight of Christ's bride, the Church, and then paints a vivid portrait of what we can - and indeed do - look like as His redeemed people. This volume covers Ephesians 1:1 through Ephesians 2:22.
