One in Christ | Ephesians 2:11-22

Written By Tim Lazaro

Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22

Summary:

Human efforts at peace repeatedly fail, but Jesus Christ offers a lasting peace secured by His blood. In Christ, sinners who were far from God are brought near, reconciled to the Father, and reconciled to one another. Jesus breaks down the barriers that divide people and makes every believer a fellow citizen and member of God's household. The church must reflect this unity by living as one family and making Christ's message of reconciliation visible to the world.

Key Takeaways:

  • Remember how far from God you were without Christ.

  • Rejoice that Jesus brings you near to God through His blood.

  • Reject barriers between believers and live from your shared identity in Christ.

  • Make the message of reconciliation visible by sharing Christ and pursuing peace.
