Discuss Ephesians 2 Page 27

I LOVE IT: YET CHRIST in us the hope of Glory. Revealed in Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.CHECK POINT: Phil 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Hebrews 9:14 and 10:22 1 Cor 13 and Rev 3:19 undergirding all.

Here is the whole meaning. REPENT BELIEVE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST OR YOU WILL LIVE IN DEATH Ephesians 2: 1-10 then die physically go to HELL FOREVER.

Many ought to be careful under what influences ye meditate upon the word, which will determine the nature of 'revelation s ' ye receive, for even the devil appears to men as an angel of light. If it were not so Christ would not have called Peter a rock, upon which He swore to build His church, Peter being an Apostle himself and also firmly operated in the capacity of a Prophet - Ephesians 2:20.

Cheryl, I believe the Scripture is saying that the humans with Noah was clean because it said Noah was a righteous man before God. Therefore,the almighty saw them all through the cleansing blood of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. It is not our righteousness but Jesus Christ 's Ephesians 2:8,9 "For by grace are we saved through faith and that is not of ourselves, it is the gift of God, not of work least any man should boast. The grace and faith of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God bless us and the understanding of His Word. Amen.

We can 't gain salvation on our own, no matter how noble our works are. Salvation is a gift from Jehovah God given to those who put faith in the sin-atoning value of the sacrifice of his Son.

I just spent two weeks at olive viiew hospital in the Los Angeles area and I am schizophrenic. I stood in my own urine for over four days, they figured I was too out of it to notice. I wasn 't. The only thing that comforted me was knowing that wherever I stand. Jesus Christ stands with me. Even when Paul was in prison, he wrote gods word because Christ was in him, and with him. Yes I knew I was standing in my urine but Paul still had Christ in him and because of my salvation I had Christ I 'm me too. Never forget that fact. Because someday it may save your heart,

when bornagian jesus chrirst indwelling in our heart.measure of grace according to our commitment to our lord.praise to jesus

Jesus loves will endures forever, his love and mercy will always follow us, we are now live because of Jesus forgiveness and by saving us by destroying the works of the defeated devil. Jesus loves us so much that we cant imagine. We must obey Jesus commandments until rapture coz Jesus doesnt want to bless us only but our soul must be save. Trust Jesus forever in our lives. Jesus loves you and he will never ever leave you nor forsake you

Gracious GOD, thank you for the gift of salvation that comes to us through faith.

I thank GOD for the free gift of faith by GRACE AMEN

this of course is referring to Satan the Devil. He is the prince of the power of the air. He broadcasts his attitude to mankind like a tv signal transmits over the airwaves directly to the tv set. the same way he got to Eve. he caused Eve to doubt God. It was all very subtle. He put doubts in her mind.

Love daily scriptures

Hello fellow believers.....God, has made us free from the world through his Son, to make one out of two for His habitat,a dwelling place for his spirit even in Christ by his grace through our faith. Amen

EPHESIANS 2:8 COMMENTS 3 31 2015 11:40 PM Yea, we believed by the grace of God through our faith unto the Lord Jesus Christ, we are saved. For it is the gift of God that given to us. ROMANS 3:24, 10:9-11. Thank you Lord for the abundance grace that none can be measure. A-men.

Yes. Epsesians chapter 2 is telling all saints that we have direct access to God through Jesus. God had informed true beleivers that we are of one spirit with Christ in Him through His holy word teachings and act of faith thriught obedience. God has reminded us that we are no longer strangers to Him because Hos son Jesus openly defeated the enemy through the shedding of His precious blood upon the cross. God has spoken that we all were once walking according to the spirit of darkness as the same one which operates in the children of disobedient today.

Donnies ephesians ch 2 yes yes yes,everything we need is Jesus Christ. no more.People want to add the doctrines baptism and all the other things that was for the jews before Christ died. Jesus for filled the laws and doctrines.and said believe in me and you will be saved.

Daryll, Thorugh rentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit ? Salvation comes by one placing their failth souly in Jesus Christ and his work and at the moment we do this by faith we are baptized into the body of Christ by the Holy Spirt and everyone who receives Jesus Christ, receives the Holy Spirit ! The dispensation of grace the church age does not need to be intangled with the doctrines of baptism or any other sacrement... Everything we need is in the Person of Jesus Christ !

Through repentance, baptism in Jesus name, and receiving the holy Spirit which we are sealed with His name in our foreheads yes we are saved by Grace.

I think he is talking about making believers of Christ one in him. The enmity he speaks of is the one we inherited in the fall when He said there would be enmity. Between God and man. He took an polished that enmity . Those making peace. There was ever ever peace until Christ did this. Jesus made peace removing the enmity.praise God !

This rock in Matthew 16:18 is a reference to Jesus Christ just as in John 2:19 this temple was a reference to Jesus Christ. Jesus is the rock Psalms 62:2 He only is my rock and my salvation Many today have the wrong rock like Deuteronomy 32:31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. The Bible says that Peter is a stone John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. And he is one among many 1 Peter 2:5. Peter preached a kingdom message with those keys which opens doors for opportunities to preach. See 1 Cor 16:9, and 2 Cor 2:12 for example. Today we listen to Paul our apostle Rom 11:13, Acts 9:15, 1 Tim 2:7, etc. who preaches Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

IT IS BY GRACE THAT WE ARE SAVED,AND GRACE IS A GIFT UNTO US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST.

This Verse show that eternal life with Christ is a gift: one we can not buy or even work for and like a gift all we have to do is reach out and take by faith depending on Christ alone and Christ only- for he died for us all that we might have life more abundantly through Christ Our Lord.

Salvation comes from God and him alone through his own son Jesus to all who repent from their sins and forsake all and from your heart believes and trust in his power to keep is saved by grace through faith.

This was a blessed nation who received gods grace without deserving the favour the same might happen to as long as we are prepared to walk in his footsteps

Joni, I totally agree with you, i.e. "...We don 't have a license to sin just because we are in Christ. ... We have to fight like you said and never take our eyes off Jesus. Satan wants us to focus on our past mistakes... " Joni, my present situation is one eagerly searching for the "meat " of God 's Word and understanding how to apply this to my present situation. This appears to be totally different from the "milk " of the Word in that it invites a NEW EXISTENCE. I find learning about Jesus, the Holy Ghost and our Heavenly Father easy compared to bringing myself under the influence of these in a manner that actually changes who I am...This is a daily struggle for me at this time and satan does not leave any stone unturned in his attempts to thwart my efforts, often using myself against myself...Oh how I wish I saw myself clearly as God sees me and I long so much for clarity as to my imaginings and my desires as to whether they be "vain " or "to consume upon my own lusts "....I am so often questioning myself...

I think this is The First Resurrection Ephesians 2:5 we were quickened together with Christ Revelation 20:6 WE were dead now we have a resurrected soul and Ephesians 2:6 we sit in heavenly places with Christ.

"And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. " Taking up a cross is for crucifying the flesh. Paul has said "O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? " He was talking about the struggle he and all born again believers deal with when it comes to wanting to do God 's will, but our flesh wants to fulfill the lusts of the old us that we are to deny daily. Things such as lasciviousness, pride, covetousness, rage, etc. To take up your cross is to seek and fulfill God 's will and not your own. To go without for righteousness sake, to make of yourself of no reputation, to keep God 's commandments instead of giving into sinful pleasure, to keep yourself from being corrupted by the things and people of this present evil generation. Christ lived a life of self denial, lowliness, affliction, temptation, living for others and bearing their burdens. He lived for the glory and approval of God and not of man. We are to do the same. It is by no means easy, but rely on his strength and take heart, for he that is in you is greater and has overcome the world. 2 Timothy 2:12 says "If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: " Those that are disciples inwardly and not just outwardly are the ones that are approved of God. Philippians 3:8 1 Corinthians 15:31 Romans 8:18 Philippians 2:4-7 Ephesians 2:3 1 Peter 4:2

Motdaugrnd. Your answer to Ron was more complete than mine. I didn 't mean to imply that it was okay to sin and ask for forgiveness. We don 't have a license to sin just because we are in Christ. 40 years ago, when I was a new believer I knew all my sins had been forgiven. I longed for the sincere milk of the Word and grew in Christ. We have to fight like you said and never take our eyes off Jesus. Satan wants us to focus on our past mistakes. God wants us to always repent, ask for forgiveness, live in Christ 's righteousness and rest in Him at the same time. Bible study and prayer is so important because the world, obligations, etc. want to keep us from living for Christ and praising Him.
