1. Ephesians 2:19-3:6
By David Turner
http://BibleGuy.org

2. Dead in our trespasses and sins (2:1)
By nature children of wrath (2:3)
Gentiles in the flesh (2:11)
Separated from Christ (2:12)
Alienated from the commonwealth of Israel
(2:12).
Strangers to the covenants of promise (2:12)
Without hope and without God (2:12)

3. We Gentiles are brought near by the blood of Christ
(2:13).
Christ is our peace (2:14).
The dividing wall between Jew and Gentile has
been destroyed creating one new man (2:14).
Jew and Gentile are reconciled into one body
through the cross (2:16).
Christ has killed the hostility between Jew and
Gentile (2:16).
Both Jew and Gentile through one Spirit have
access to the Father (2:18).
We who were once called Gentiles are no longer
strangers and aliens (2:19).

4. Jew and Gentile together:
(One Building) Are fellow citizens in the household
of God (2:19)
(One Body) Are fellow heirs, members of the same
body, and partakers of the promise (3:6).
God is Building A Home for Himself.
God is a Body Builder.

5. God is Building His Home
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,
but you are fellow citizens with the saints and
members of the household of God, 20 built on the
foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ
Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom
the whole structure, being joined together, grows
into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In him you also
are being built together into a dwelling place for
God by the Spirit.

6. God Is a Body Builder
3 For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on
behalf of you Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have
heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was
given to me for you, 3 how the mystery was made
known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly.
4 When you read this, you can perceive my insight into
the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to
the sons of men in other generations as it has now
been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by
the Spirit. 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow
heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of
the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

7. Eph. 2:19-22

8. 19 So then you are no longer
strangers and aliens, but
you are fellow citizens with
the saints and members of
the household of God,
Non Jews
No longer strangers
No longer aliens
Believing Gentiles are
fellow citizens .
Believing Gentiles are
family members.

9. 20 built on the foundation of
the apostles and prophets,
Christ Jesus himself being
the cornerstone,
Not a physical Temple
It is a Spiritual Temple
with:
Foundation: apostles and
Prophets
Cornerstone: Christ Jesus
himself

10. 21 in whom the whole
structure, being joined
together, grows into a
holy temple in the Lord
It is growing
It is holy
It is in The Lord

11. 22 In him you also are being
built together into a
dwelling place for God by
the Spirit.
You Gentiles are also
being built together with
believing Jews into the
dwelling place of God.
The dwelling place is not
a building. God’s people
are the building.
It is the dwelling place for
God by the Spirit.

12. Eph. 3:1-6

13. 3 For this reason I, Paul, a
prisoner for Christ Jesus on
behalf of you Gentiles—
2 assuming that you have
heard of the stewardship of
God’s grace that was given
to me for you,
Paul:
Prisoner for Christ
Jesus
On behalf of the
Gentiles
The steward of the
Gospel of Grace for the
Gentiles.

14. 3 how the mystery was
made known to me by
revelation, as I have
written briefly.
How was the mystery
made known to Paul?
By revelation.

15. 4 When you read this, you
can perceive my insight into
the mystery of Christ,
5 which was not made
known to the sons of men in
other generations as it has
now been revealed to his
holy apostles and prophets
by the Spirit.
We receive the mystery
through Paul and the
apostles.
It was not available in
previous generations to
the Jews.
It has now been revealed
to the apostles and NT
prophets by the Spirit.

16. 6 This mystery is that the
Gentiles are fellow heirs,
members of the same body,
and partakers of the
promise in Christ Jesus
through the gospel.
What is this mystery?
Gentiles are fellow
heirs
Members together with
believing Jews in the
same body (Christ).
Partakers of the
Promise
In Christ Jesus
Through the gospel.

18. Christ died for all (Jew and Non-
Jew), that all might come to Him
and be saved.
