December 31, 2023 • Max Janusch • Ephesians 2:17–22
Ephesians 2:17-22 | Max Janusch | Regardless of what we know to be true, Christians often practice their faith in isolation from one another. But, God's plan for his people is so much greater than a personal faith lived out in the seclusion of one's living room. God is saving sinners and is building for himself a people who represent him to one another and the rest of the world. Here, we see that our unity in God is built by God for God. MAIN IDEA Our unity in God is built by God for God. OUTLINE I. We have been united in Christ with God and one another. (vv. 17-18) II. We are built on God’s saving revelation of himself.
