Ephesians 2:11-13

1. List everything that Paul tells the Ephesians to remember in verse 12. In your opinion, which of the these seems most severe and why?

2. How does Paul describe their life prior to Christ? How does that description differ from Ephesians 2:1-3?

3. Who was “the circumcision” and why were they calling the Gentiles “the uncircumcision”?

4. From what were the Ephesians formerly far off and to what have they been brought near?

5. In verse 13 Paul mentions the blood of Christ. Look up Hebrews 9:22, 10:3-4, and 10:10. What do you learn from those passages about the blood of Christ?

6. What is one example in your life of how you have changed from what you once were?

7. In a world that focuses on our differences, how do we stay united as a Church? Is it ok to disagree with one another? How can we love even when we disagree?
