RECONCILED UNTO GOD IN ONE BODY *
*By FLOYD BAKER, Pastor *

Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2: 16
"And that he might reconcile both unto God in one Body by the cross,
having slain the enmity thereby." Our word reconcile comes from the
Greek word APOKATALLASSO and has the meaning, "to reconcile completely;
to change from one condition to another, so as to remove all enmity and
leave no impediment to unity and peace" (W.E.Vine). In your study of the
Scriptures it is important to remember that the WORLD has been
conciliated to God (11 Corinthians 5:19) but the believer is reconciled
to God. In both instances it is God who has taken the initiative and in
11 Corinthians the appeal is to the unsaved to be conciliated to God
while in Ephesians the action is completed. Believing Jews and Gentiles
are not reconciled to each other but both to God with the end result
being ONE BODY.
We see in our context starting with verse 11 that the Gentiles were
"afar off, while the Jews were nigh." The Body of Christ is God's
special purpose for the present administration and is called a "new
man," and is not to be confused with His kingdom people and program.
These are not Jews of the kingdom program becoming members of the Body
of Christ but those who have been saved into the Body of Christ. We see
that it is all made possible by the cross. To the Jew the cross was a
stumbling block and to the Greek foolishness, but to us who believe, the
power and the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:23,24). With Paul we
declare, "Unto him glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen."
Should this Inspirational series has been a blessing and encouragement

maybe defending the USA. The Word of God is so needed in our troubled
world. It is our heart at GRACE AND THE TRUTH and mission to reach as
