Reconciled In One Body
Ephesians 2:16
Why Does Man Need Reconciliation? He was separated
from God as a result of sin, Isaiah 59:1-4. Sins that he
committed, Ephesians 2:1-3. Mankind- Both Jew and
Gentile needs forgiveness. Romans 1:18-29
Some Important Questions
Why the need of reconciliation?
By what means is this accomplished?
Where does this occur?
Who is to be reconciled?
What is this one body?
The New Testament Will Give Us The Answer
Where Is Man Reconciled to God?
• The same place where he receives forgiveness of sins and
redemption through His blood, Ephesians 1:7-9
• In Christ we have
– All spiritual blessings (1:3).
– His chosen ones (1:4).
– Redemption through blood (1:7).
– The forgiveness of sins (1:7).
– Salvation (2 Tim. 2:10).
– Son-ship of God (Galatians 3:26).
• These are the results of reconciliation
What Does the New Testament
Identify as the Body?
• “The church of God which is at Corinth” (1
Corinthians 1:2)
– A Local Church “at Corinth
– “Them which are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to
be saints”
– Sanctified– – Saints
– The Universal Church- “every place”
– “With all that call upon the name of our Lord Jesus. ..”
(1:2
– Called upon the name of the Lord– – saved
– 1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 1:22, 23
– Colossians 1:18; 24
• Will only members of the Church of Christ be
saved?
– Some important questions
– Who is the Judge?
– Where can I read his decision?
– Who is the Saviour of the saved?
– What does the Judge state about the church and
the saved?
– You must ask and find the answer to these
questions
The record of the Judge
• Only few will be saved (Matthew 7:13-14; 22:14).
• Many will be lost (Matthew 7:22-23).
• Only those who believe (John 3:16) & obey Jesus
(Hebrews 5:8-9).
• Unbelievers and disobedient are lost (John 8:24, 2
Thessalonians 1:7-9
• The saved are added to the church (Acts 2:47).
• Jesus will present the church to Himself (Ephesians
5:27)
• Jesus built one church (Ephesians 4:4).
• There is one and only one body, the church (Ephesians
1:23; 5:23).
CONCLUSION
• Be Ye Reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20)
• God has placed reconciliation in Christ that
“we might be made the righteousness of God
in Him” (5:21).
• To be in Christ we must be “added to the
church” (Acts 2:47) having been “baptized into
Christ” (Romans 6:3, 4) and “into his body” (1
Corinthians 12:13).
•Are You in
Christ?
