THE TWO … THEIR HOSTILITY … PEACE / EPHESIANS 2:14-17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Ephesians 2:14-17

 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

THE TWO … THEIR HOSTILITY … PEACE / EPHESIANS 2:14-17

These verses clearly describe the “barrier, the dividing wall of hostility” (Ephesians 2:14) that historically separated Jews and Gentiles (people of all nations who are not Israelite or Jewish). This separation was based primarily on religion. But God has brought into unity people of all nations and backgrounds as they sought a personal relationship with Him (Ephesians 6:9; Acts 10:34; Romans 2:11). He did so by taking the focus off of His law as the basis for a relationship with Himself (Romans 3:28-30) and bringing our full attention to His gift of salvation by grace (unearned favor and love) through faith in Christ alone (Romans 9:30; Galatians 2:16). All true believers have peace with God (Ephesians 2:16-17) and each other because the basis of their faith is in what Jesus Christ did through His death and resurrection.
