Ephesians Chapter 2 Discussion Page 11

v 19 therefore as a fellow citizen of the kingdom, we have right to access the riches and wealth of the kingdom.

The word of God is perfect.

There's One Savior,One Way of Salvation,by The Blood of The Lamb. Wisdom and understanding comes from His Word Only. The unlearned, the-etc?. Will change the question. Question:How do we become filled with The Knowledge of His will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding? Turn-off tv,internet-etc. Church same Faith. Tell others The Way,what He did for You. The more you do the faster you Grow!!!

Felicia; Ephesians 2:1-7(Washed by His blood/made clean of past sins,understanding,wisdom,knowledge,discernment happens when He does this:""Eph.2:8-10."" There will be more than "just three things you will have to do" after he calls you, Don't let anyone deceive you with smooth words.Seek wisdom and get understanding. And it is NOT easy continuing in the faith/The battle against the flesh wages on.

If we really love Him, why do we so frequently celebrate the grace of Ephesians 2:8, and so seldom acknowledge the grace of Tit. 2:11-12? After all, they both come from God's word.
If we truly love Him, why do we find so many excuses to not come together with others of like mind to celebrate our relationship and learn more about Him? Heb. 10:25

V. 10 - " ..... created in Christ Jesus UNTO GOOD WORKS ..... "

To J. Cardoza - You do include Eph. 2:10 with vs. 8-9 ....... ?

John 3:16 For God so love the world that he gave his only begotten Son Jesus Christ that whosoever believes in him shall not be perished but have eternal life. What a loving God we serve. Thanks to the blood of Jesus that shed for us by his blood we are forgiven and redeemed. HE PAID THE PRICE FOR US. OUR JOB NOW IS TO PRAISE HIM AND WORSHIP HIM ONLY FOR HE IS WORTHY. AMEN

Ephesians is the greatest love letter from our heavenly father to the body of believers.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.

Grace continues to be the theme and a advent point of conconclusion throughout the chapter, making it clear that God has given us everything we need, through his son's death, for our sins!!

How greatful I am that I am brought to salvation through Christ Jesus through his willing sacrifice.

I praise God for his loving kindness that brought salvation to his chosen ones. Truly those who have been born-again are the children of obedience. By the fruit of the Spirit and love for one another we are the salt and lights of the world. Walking not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Praise be to God and glory to his name for how he is perfecting his saints that he may be glorified.

Yes lets praise Him GOD is all powerful and the head of everything. Thank you Jesus for shedding your blood and becoming the last sacrifice ever need to forgive us our sins. We are all made to serve Him. Hallelujah thank you Lord, I love you forever and I just want to serve you to the best of my ability. Id its not right then Lord please fix me, shape, mold me, and help me to be who you made me.

In Christ Alone is where we find all that we need he is such a wonderful God and amazing God he's an awesome God to God be the glory let us buildup His Nation through his spirit that lives in US to serve others as God loves us let the greatest Among Us be our leader. To God be the glory prayers to each and everyone of you all love you through Christ Jesus amen

Verse 15 shows that Christ did away with the Mosaic Law.

1 Believe, 2 Repent, 3 Be baptized in the name of Jesus FOR the remission of sins

Thanks be to God for His grace and mercy that saved my soul. Amen!

There is nothing that we do to receive God's grace, mercy and love, we should walk in the ways of holiness through Jesus Christ , he is the only rightousness and our rightousness come through him, be blessed and give the praise, honor, and glory to God our Heavenly Father, Amen.

This is a great chapter. It tell of God's mercy in that while we were sinners He sent His son to die for us so that we who believe on Him might be saved. As His chosen ones we need to serve Him, love our neighbors and do good to all men. In other words we should treat all God's children as brothers and sisters. To God be the glory great things He has done. He loved us so much He gave us His son.

We are blessed to have a LORD who took upon Himself flesh, who preached the truth, then made that ultimate sacrifice on the cross for us. His blessings kept coming, He offers salvation as a free gift to all men who believe in Him. That's not including His righteousness. When God gives mercy, He certainly gives it.

Glory to God!
Alleluia!
Thank You, Almighty God! Thank You!!!

It's perfect.

Compare this and 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 "the mystery of lawlessness", and Colossians 3:5-7, with 1 John 3:4, which us the definition of sin. Furthermore,the whole letter of 1 John ties God's law together with love. An analogy would be: An Archer who is aiming at the target of righteousness God's ten commandments , contrasted with the one who is aiming at another target unrighteousness . Neither hit the bullseye perfectly 100 of the time, but each practice shooting one or the other target.

RESTORE ! RESTORE ! RESTORE ! OH HEAVENLY ABBA DAD AND GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH, IN AND THROUGH YOUR SON OUR GLORIOUS LORD AND MAJESTY KING SUPREME TO COME, CHRIST YESHUA, JESUS, GLORY AMEN AND AMEN INDEED ! THE DREADFUL AND TERRIBLE DAY OF THE LORD IS TRULY AT HAND FOR THIS VERY REASON AS IT WAS BACK IN THEIR DAY AND TIME. RAISE UP AND SEND FORTH YOUR CHOSEN SERVENT FOR THY NAMES SAKE AND FULFILL ALL THINGS IN THIS END OF THE AGE OF THE GENTILES TO YOUR EVERLASTING GLORY AMEN AND AMEN INDEED ! SHALOM ISRAEL ZION AMEN ! God Bless and be with you ! Shalom yedda dim beloved one .

Paul's statement here in verse 8 " For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:", does not negate, cancel out, or make null and void our need to be baptized in the name of Jesus in order to receive forgiveness of sins, as he shared with the disciples of John the Baptist he met in Acts 19:1-6. In its proper context here, Paul is pointing all glory back to the one who made salvation a possibility for us who were dead in our trespasses and sins. Simply put, Christ didn't have to become the sacrifice and if he did not, there would be nothing that we could ever do to change our eternal destination. However, because he did die and paid the price for our sins, in the book of Acts, when the disciples, on order from Jesus were confronted by people needing salvation they always spell out quite clearly and simplistically what one must do. 1. REPENT 2. BE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF JESUS 3. RECEIVE THE IN-FILLING OF GOD'S SPIRIT EVIDENCED BY SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES AS HIS SPIRIT PROVIDES THE WORDS. These instruction that were given by Peter with the eleven Apostles in agreement , Phillip, Ananias, Paul, ect. in the the book of Acts.

Faith is in my heart. God gave me the gift of grace for my salvation. To save me from my sins.

Does anyone have ANY tiny glimmer of an idea of what this is actually saying to the saved? It's astonishing light. Not only are we going to Heaven? what does it say. There is no greater power than that which allowed and CAUSED this to happen. God Himself!! This is no joke or verse to be undermining in darkness. Pure light of life. FACT. None more serious?! He did this! GOD. If you are born again? Rejoice forevermore. 1.LOOK where you ARE seated! 2.Please note WHOM "hath" put you there.--not you and it tells. 4.HATH!--not debatable, over and done, no maybes. 6.Raised together? - Learn what that means for maximum Light. 7.Who is "us"? 8.Do not people see total nth degree past tense all over this verse? Happened. 100 unrebukable fact unless you do not believe? LOOK WHAT GOD HATH done for His saved Sons and Daughters and believe it. THANK HIM. You did none of this because it surely tells whom did. You asked mercy at best? THANK whom "HATH" made this fact. Sword of Truth. Glory to God forevermore. Amen

The death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary is the greatest miracle to the entire human race. For we all were living in both darkness and hopelessness but it brought a total light and hope to all mankind.

WE are blessed with faith and saved by grace through faith GOD SAID IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART AND CONFESS WITH YOUR MOUTH

I love my jesus
