Notes:
“Go and make disciples of all people” –Mt. 28:19-20.
11 Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews... –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
12 In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
13 But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
14 For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
15 ...He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
16 Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
17 [Christ] brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
19 So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
20 Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. 21 We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
22 Through [Jesus] you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit. –Ephesians 2 (NLT)
