Ephesians 2 Peace on the Construction Site

The way things were	Dead in rebellion
Used to 'walk'	World path
Leader	Prince of the power of the air
Who is that?	Spirit in people who by nature are disobedient
We all were those	Driven by physical and mental desires
God's general response?	Wrath and our anti-life with typical humanity
God's specific response?	Loved us and gave us love that gives life
How are we saved from deadly world/path?	Resurrection with Christ, and act of grace
Where does that put us?	Seated with Christ on the throne from which the Father's will is executed
Why?	We will be a display of God's amazing goodness towards us in times to come
How do we show his goodness?	Grace of God which shows up in us trusting him (faith) that results in us living well
What does this salvation NOT do?	Give us an excuse to brag or to be lazy
What does God have as our destiny	We and the things we do are good works
So remember	One an outsider, now an insider by the victory of Christ
And remember	Christ is our peace, more of him means more real peace (take the time to learn and live this)
How do we have this peace???	We are included in THE project. We are the community in which God will dwell more and more (and the door is open for more)
