A NEW RACE OF HUMAN…COMMENTARY ON EPHESIANS, (PT. 1) His (Jesus’) purpose was to make in Himself one new man (the Church) out of the two (Jew and Gentile), thus making peace and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross by which He put to death their hostility. (Eph 2:15-16) The history makes it so clear. God and man simply could not dwell together. When they tried, man’s sin eventually drove God away, lest He destroy man.
