Sin and Redemption: An Expository Commentary Based upon Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians (2:1–22)
Overview
The genius of Paul is evident in chapter two of his Letter to the Ephesians. More importantly, two truths are revealed through a closer examination of his presentation. First is the realization that Paul listens, contemplates, and abides by the words of his Savior, and ours, in presenting the truths revealed to him. This was the result of Paul relinquishing the mantle of self-centeredness and replacing it with the crown of Christ-centeredness. It became his guiding light through the trials which accompany walking with Jesus. Second, there is the recognition of Paul’s love for, and commitment to, professing Christians, whether they are babes in the faith, adolescents, or maturing adults. He realized they had been, or would be, confronted by the desires of the flesh and of the mind during their life’s journey. He wanted them to know the living Christ. This chapter is pivotal to understanding God’s mercy and grace, as well as our need for his spiritual blessings. When we accept the Lord Jesus’ invitation to follow him in his commands and teachings, we will know the joy of a right relationship with the glorious Father, reconciliation through Christ, praying through the Holy Spirit, and God’s foundation, built on the apostles and prophets.
