Ephesians 2:14-1814 For he himself is our peace, who has
made the two one and has destroyed thebarrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by
abolishing in his flesh the law with its
commandments and regulations. His
purpose was to create in himself one newman out of the two, thus making peace, 16
and in this one body to reconcile both of
them to God through the cross, by which he
put to death their hostility. 17 He came andpreached peace to you who were far away
and peace to those who were near. 18 For
through him we both have access to the
Father by one Spirit.

19 Consequently, you are no longerforeigners and aliens, but fellow citizens
with God's people and members of
God's household, 20 built on the
foundation of the apostles and prophets,with Christ Jesus himself as the chief
cornerstone. 21 In him the whole
building is joined together and rises to
become a holy temple in the Lord. 22
And in him you too are being built
together to become a dwelling in which
God lives by his Spirit.

Ephesians 2:11-1311 Therefore, remember that formerly
you who are Gentiles by birth and called"uncircumcised" by those who call
themselves "the circumcision" (that
done in the body by the hands of men)--
12 remember that at that time you were
separate from Christ, excluded from
citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the
covenants of the promise, without hopeand without God in the world. 13 But
now in Christ Jesus you who once were
far away have been brought near
through the blood of Christ.

As Gentiles, we have no
connection whatsoever withthe chosen nation (i.e., Israel)
and the Messiah (i.e., JesusChrist), and therefore had no
hope in this world.

If God had not taken the
initiative in making aconnection with us,
bringing the gospel to us,
sending people to shareJesus to us, then we would
have remaineddisconnected/excluded
