Main Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22
Principle #1: Before Christ, we had no hope; living without God in the world.
Principle #2: Because of Christ, we have been brought near.
Principle #3: God has made one new man in place of two.
Romans 11:17-19 (ESV)
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
Principle #4: The grafted branches must not be arrogant toward the original branches.
