Ephesians Two - Greater Enmity
"For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity," Ephesians 2:14-16, NKJV. #GreaterEnmity
The faithful who were surrounded by the corrupt religion of the Circumcision and those who had faith written on their hearts, but were part of the Uncircumcised in the flesh, together could find peace with God and themselves through Jesus; but now, a greater enmity exists between people everywhere, believers who receive the gift of faith in Christ and those who simply do not.
Genesis 3:15, Romans 8:5-8 and James 4:4-5.
