Ephesians Chapter 2
Ephesians Chapter 2 The Great Mystery The Homewood Suites (East Rutherford, NJ) Gilmore, Michael 03/08/2015
We see how at one time we were dead in trespasses and sins, missing the mark, and making wrong turns, but, because of God’s mercy, His lovingkindness, and His compassion, we were saved by grace and made to sit together in heavenly places. Because of what Christ did for us, we, as the Church of the Body, are God’s masterpiece, have peace and access to God, and are continuously being built together for an habitation of God.

Ephesians Chapter 1
Ephesians Chapter 1 The Great Mystery The Homewood Suites (East Rutherford, NJ) Gilmore, Michael 03/08/2015
The teaching shows the differences between the doctrinal Epistles of Romans and Ephesians and what their focuses are; the focus of Romans is on the individual while Ephesians shows what God has done in grace for the One Body of Christ together. The explanations of some words are given including holy, without blame, in Christ, predestination, adoption, accepted, repent, blotted out, and refreshing. Then, the teacher goes over the two prayers of Ephesians.

The background of the Book of Ephesians as it relates to Romans is discussed in this teaching. The Epistles are explained in light of doctrine, reproof, and correction. The doctrinal and practical sides of Romans and Ephesians are mentioned as well as the differences between the two Books. We see the plight of man in Romans compared to our identification in Christ and our being seated in the heavenly places which are parts of the Mystery revealed in Ephesians.
