ONE NEW MAN CREATED IN JESUS CHRIST

Ephesians 2:11-22
Key Verse: 2:14-15

“For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing
in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus
making peace.”

1. Read verses 11-13. What was the situation of the Gentiles before they came to Christ? What was their relationship to the Jews, God's chosen people? What blessings has God given them (us) through the blood of Christ?

2. Read verses 14-18. How has Christ become our peace? How did he bring people of such different backgrounds--like Jews and Gentiles--together? How is he doing this today? What is his purpose in doing this?

3. How does God destroy the wall of hostility between people? What does it mean that we have access to the Father by one Spirit? What does it mean to be one in Christ?

4. Read verses 19-22. What is the foundation of the Christian Church? What does this mean? What is its Cornerstone? What is the building? What does it mean that God dwells in the midst of his people?
