<strong>The</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Fullness</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong><br />
Eph 1:22-23<br />
23<br />
God’s Eternal Purpose
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Fullness</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>: Eph. 1:22-23<br />
And God placed all things under<br />
his feet and appointed him to be<br />
head over everything for <strong>the</strong><br />
church, 23 which is his body, <strong>the</strong><br />
fullness <strong>of</strong> him who fills<br />
everything in every way.<br />
God’s Eternal Purpose
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Church</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Fullness</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>: Eph. 1:22-23<br />
Reconciliation in <strong>Christ</strong> and in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Church</strong>—Eph 2:11-22<br />
11 <strong>The</strong>refore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called<br />
"uncircumcised" by those who call <strong>the</strong>mselves "<strong>the</strong> circumcision" (that done in <strong>the</strong><br />
body by <strong>the</strong> hands <strong>of</strong> men)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate<br />
from <strong>Christ</strong>, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to <strong>the</strong> covenants <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> promise, without hope and without God in <strong>the</strong> world. 13 But now in <strong>Christ</strong><br />
Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong>.<br />
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made <strong>the</strong> two one and has destroyed<br />
<strong>the</strong> barrier, <strong>the</strong> dividing wall <strong>of</strong> hostility, 15 by abolishing in his flesh <strong>the</strong> law with<br />
its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one<br />
new man out <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two, thus making peace, 16 and in this one body to reconcile<br />
both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m to God through <strong>the</strong> cross, by which he put to death <strong>the</strong>ir hostility. 17<br />
He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who<br />
were near. 18 For through him we both have access to <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r by one Spirit.<br />
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with<br />
God's people and members <strong>of</strong> God's household, 20 built on <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
apostles and prophets, with <strong>Christ</strong> Jesus himself as <strong>the</strong> chief cornerstone. 21 In<br />
him <strong>the</strong> whole building is joined toge<strong>the</strong>r and rises to become a holy temple in <strong>the</strong><br />
Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built toge<strong>the</strong>r to become a dwelling in<br />
which God lives by his Spirit.<br />
