Ephesians - Chapter 2 NEW Man in Christ

Chapter 2 main theme is "The NEW Man in Christ" through the cross of Jesus Christ.

It compares the before and after salvation. All would agree that the New-Man is rebirth by grace through faith (2:8-9). But most will ignore v10, we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus that we should WALK in them. Our walking to the new man to reveal the glory of Christ that is inside has not been emphasized enough in these days blessings and little-commitment gospel.

Here is the outline:
