THEREFORE, REMEMBER THAT YOU EPHESIANS, ONCE GENTILES IN THE FLESH CALLED THE UNCIRCUMSION BY THOSE CALLED THE CIRCUMCISION MADE IN THE FLESH BY HANDS

Ephesians 2:11

WHAT IS THEREFORE THERE FOR?

POWER!

THEREFORE THE CHURCH!

IT IS BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED, THROUGH FAITH AND EVEN THISNOT FROM YOURSELVES,IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD.

THE UN-CIRCUMCISION

IN HIM YOU WERE ALSO CIRCUMCISED, IN CUTTING OFF THE SINFUL NATURE, NOT WITH A CIRCUMCISION DONE BY THE HANDS OF MEN BUT WITH THE CIRCUMCISION DONE BY CHRIST, HAVING BEEN BURIED WITH HIM IN BAPTISM AND RAISED WITH HIM THROUGH YOUR FAITH IN THE POWER OF GOD WHO RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD!

COLOSSIANS 2:11-12

CHRIST CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR. FOR THROUGH HIM (JESUS) WE BOTH HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER BY ONE SPIRIT. (EPH 2:17-18)

WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE. (I JOHN 4:8)

1) WE COMMIT TO BEING PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE TO OTHERS

2) WE LET EACH OTHER SEE OUR HEART TOWARD GOD

THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT: LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
