Ephesians 2꞉16-18 | Reconciled Both Unto God in One Body

The sermon expounds on Ephesians 2, emphasizing that the cross of Jesus Christ abolishes the enmity between Jews and Gentiles to form one new man in the body of Christ. It argues that reconciliation is not merely interpersonal peace but a divine act that restores the believer's standing before God, accessible only through faith in Christ's death and resurrection. The teaching refutes the idea that the church replaces Israel, asserting instead that both groups are under sin and require the same gospel of grace. By citing Romans 3 and 5, the message clarifies that justification is by faith alone, not by the deeds of the law, granting believers bold access to the Father through the Spirit. Finally, the sermon calls for a confident assurance of salvation and a commitment to serve as ambassadors of this costly reconciliation.
