Ephesians 2:12

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Ephesians 2:12. That at that time ye were without Christ,

Which is the worst state of all, far worse than being without circumcision.

Ephesians 2:12. Being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel,

Outsiders, rank outsiders, far away from any rights, or any participation in the rights of God’s children.

Ephesians 2:12. And strangers from the covenants of promise,

Utter strangers to the covenants made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Ephesians 2:12. Having no hope, and without God in the world:

It is an awful description, but a truthful description, of what we were.
