As we open up Ephesians 2 this week, we define two more critically important terms: “church” and “aion/olam,” variously translated as “world,” or “age,” or “eternity.” Moving on, we explore a key difference between humanity and the animals. Next, we suggest an important tweak to the common understanding of “salvation by grace through faith.” Finally, we tackle the difficult phrasing of verses 14-15, providing several ways to understand the breaking down of the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile and the abolishing of the enmity of the law; in the process, we define the term “law.”
