Ephesians 2:11-22

Addressing the Gentiles, Paul points out that they used to be separated from God though the Jews had access to God. This is following the beginning half of the chapter when Paul was speaking about being dead in trespasses and sins but God saving us through Jesus Christ. Not only were they dead, but they were separated but now through Jesus Christ they can be brought near to God and share in the covenant promises of God. There used to be a separation of Jews and Gentiles, but now the wall that separated them has been broken by Jesus. Now both are one and both have access to God.
