Ephesians Chapter 2~Once Dead to God, Now Alive Okay, so these
Christians are good now, but it wasn't so long ago that they were
living pretty sin-filled lives. As far as anyone knew, they were
dead to God because they didn't know about him or his laws or
promises. Basically, these folks just followed everyone else in the
world and did whatever it was they wanted. They ate what they
wanted. They had sex with who they wanted. And they didn't even
feel guilty about it the next morning. Okay, so they were dead to
God, but he's apparently a forgiving guy, because he went and made
them come to life again. It's a miracle! By sin they had died
(metaphorically), but through Jesus they started living again. Now
these believers have risen up to hang with Jesus. He does have that
pretty sweet seat up there in Heaven. God saved them. These
Christians didn't "earn" salvation by being good people or
something, it is a gift. They also didn't know anything about all
the promises that God made to his people way back in the Hebrew
Bible. Gentiles weren't part of that stuff, so they clearly weren't
going to be saved. But now, because Jesus lived and died. There
aren't two groups anymore—Gentiles and Jews. There's just one
group. Everyone believes in Jesus, so everyone gets to benefit from
God's promises. Back in the Hebrew Bible, God also gave his people
all kinds of laws to follow. Gentiles aren't on the outside looking
in anymore. They're citizens of Heaven. They've got the keys to
God's house. And this is the house that Jesus built…along with some
help from the apostles and prophets. Sure, Jesus is the most
important brick in the wall, but all believers—whether they're
Gentiles or Jews—are there too. Thanks to www.shmoop.co
