Ephesians 2:1 And you has he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins.
Ephesians 2:1 And you has he quickened.(made alive), who were dead.(how much can a dead person do to change the way he or she is).in trespasses and sins.(original for 'trespasses and sins' is things that 'keep you from spirituality and keep you missing the mark' of spirituality').
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience.
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air.(original 'ruler of the power of the air', that is, the ability to transmit evil to the minds of those whose thinking is being overtaken by grief. We open a door to it by allowing the blinding of our minds and that even unknowingly, that's why many 'truthers' emphasize people need to awaken:.2Corinthians 4:4; the corrupting consciousness, the mass mind of humanity has power to affect the blind {Matthew 15:14: Hosea 4:17; Philippians 4:7}, which are those at the ego level {the 3d level} and as such they are mesmerized by the God of all worldly opinions who leads those astray to swallow what the TV tells them, because they have cast away their own thinking ability to the 'tell a lie with vision'), the spirit that now works in.(original also 'through'; you select what plays through you in the form of what affects your attitudes and what affects them are your thoughts:.Proverbs 4:23; Matthew 15:19).the children of disobedience.(*). Why this is so?

The originals for the word 'disobedience' here are 'unbelief', 'not persuasible', 'not compliant' (to the laws of God:.Matthew 22:36-40), 'disobedient', 'contumacious') that is, if an individual is so stiffnecked to not believe (Romans 1:20) in the invisible reality of their existence, how will they ever think as a spiritual one does? And they can't do this unless a miracle happens in the mind, a miracle that is noticed when you want it to happen. When you want it to happen, it's the work of the Infinite One personal to you:.1, 2.

Notice Satan is called a prince and one who is restricted to a certain territory, implying that there may be other princes, even worse in evil ways, somewhere in the multiverse, where some humans have also been taken to:.Deuteronomy 30:4.

Ephesians 2:3 And among whom.(original is 'in which').also we all had our conversation.(old English for 'conduct').in times past in the lusts of our flesh fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind.(your mind and the mass mind together).and were.by nature.the children of wrath even as others.(the mass mind of humanity).

Ephesians 2:4 But God who is rich in mercy for his great love wherewith he loved us,
How great was this love?.John 3:16,17.
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins has quickened us together with Christ. By whose grace you are saved.(how does God do this?).
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins.(or, didn't even know about such things and were unable to move from the human nature life of the ego realm of sin and death, 'stuck in the mud' as it were, stuck in the life of evil ways, stuck in the life of having to deal with evil and hurtful policies, that of hurting self, hurting others).has quickened.('quickened' means 'made alive', made alive with; the Creator supports all things by his energy and this occurs below the atom).us together with Christ. By grace you are saved..That's how Emmanuel saves. It involves awakening to the true stste you came here with.
Ephesians 2:6 And raised us up to sit together with these heavenly powers through Christ Emmanuel,
Ephesians 2:6 And has raised us up to sit together.(all of the same higher consciousness; how much we are truly loved to have been made equal {John 10:34} when in the body of Christ:.Hebrews 10:5).with these heavenly powers.(all will enter the true reality, that of the realm of the invisible good, once they awaken from their ego sleep).in.(original 'in' or 'by' or through; word 'by' can also mean 'through' as in next verse).Christ Emmanuel.

.Comprehend what 'Christ' is.

Ephesians 2:7 So that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace by kindness toward us through Christ Emmanuel.
Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come.(that is; the times after the One who became the Christ was here in the physical form of Emmanuel and then returned to what is called heaven and made it possible for us also to be in the family of God:.2Peter 1:4; Jude 1:24; 1Timothy 1:14).he might show the exceeding riches of his grace by kindness toward us through.(or, 'thanks to', or 'in').Christ Emmanuel..Why Christ came to Earth.

God set things up so that we would come to know him, eventually finding out God is kind and that if we too are that way, then we too are like God in that way. So, that by seeing the contrast of evil in life, people hopefully will clue in to what's right and what's not, thereby an option is provided for choice. So we choose to learn or we choose to walk away remaining in awkward ignorance, the ignorance that has dogged our lives thus far.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are you saved.(we were already saved, so what's this word 'saved' mean?).through.(that is, because of).faith and that not of yourselves, it is the.gift.of God.
That's why if you're having a hard time to have beliefs toward faith, but want to believe, those in Christ such as the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends who themselves have been helped and healed, will believe for you. And many others will do similarly for you.
Ephesians 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Like, 'my works are better than your works, so I'm really getting somewhere', with the implication being that 'you're not', which all is an outcrop of the low consciousness childish concept, 'my dad can run faster than your dad', 'my mom's a better cook than your mom'.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Emmanuel unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his.(original has no word 'his', but implied, meaning God does now as God did then?.Romans 11:4,5; this workmanship mentioned here in this verse can shape a person spiritually if one wants to be) workmanship.(*), created in.(or 'through' {*}).Christ.(word 'Christ' means 'anointing', 'anointed'; that is, your soul is now restored and has connection to the Father, the only true Creator of all, through Christ, the Intelligent Energy of the multiverse; you are the anointed one (?), just as the 'Christ' {*}, the author & finisher of our faith:.Hebrews:12:2; 1Corinthians 15:58; it's a process {1Corinthians 6:11}, a process toward a reward for good works that you do).Emmanuel unto.(original 'upon').good works.(that is, upon His good works which exchanged our bad and purged us of spiritually profitless works:.Hebrews 9:14), which God has before ordained.(when before?).that we should walk in them.

What are we to do?.1Thessalonians 1:9 "...turn to God from idols to serve the living and true God."

One has to realize what he is is in before he can walk there.

Colossians 3:4; 1John 5:20.

Original can also mean 'walk in him', meaning Christ and to do that requires what our attention may be on, that is, God has called you to be so:.Galatians 4:19; Colossians 1:12. We are here to awaken to and continue on in the purpose for which we are on the Earth in the first place and what is that?

And just why should we 'walk in good works'?

So then how can I learn today, one might ask. And are good works just sincerely helping others?

Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the flesh.(speaking of physicality), who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the circumcision in the flesh made by hands.(the Jewish people).
Ephesians 2:12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise.having no hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:12 That at that time you were without Christ.(having no interest in the spiritual things of life), being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise.(Titus 1:2).having no hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Emmanuel you who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Emmanuel you.(Paul is here referring to the Gentiles as the verses just above show).who sometimes were far off.(John 11:52 "...he should gather together in one the children of God...").are made nigh.(near).by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who has made both one and has broken down the middle wall of partition betweenus.(*);

Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances, for to make in himself of twain, one new man, so making peace;
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity.(note there was an emnity; what was this enmity? It was the heart of humanity back then and even today, no matter if they be of the ancient nation of Israel or Gentile or descendents of them.Deuteronomy 5:29), even the law of commandments contained.(word 'contained' not in original but implied) in ordinances (in Old Testament times, when they sinned {missed the mark in doing what they had agreed with God to do} they were required to make a sin offering, examples), for to make in himself of twain.(two being the commandments {which would have worked good for them, but back then they didn't have the heart to want to be involved with them} and the ordinances, the things to do in life based on those commandments), one new man, so making peace;

Emmanuel came to show us that the opposites in us were the same as they were in those of ancient times, the opposites being something that could have proven good for them, as compared with their heart which was not inclined towards good {Proverbs 14:12}; good is from the soul {the source of good} and evil emerges from the ego; Christ came so that these two could be reconciled.

Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity.thereby.
Ephesians 2:16 And that he might reconcile both.(refers to verse 11).unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity.thereby.

The enmity being that which kept us from God and what was that if not the ordinary consciousness man has been in that has been so hurtful to him all throughout history; the enmity is slain by Christ in us and Christ is the epitome of the higher consciousness of the Creator-Father; it's an exchange:.Matthew 16:26.

Ephesians 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off and to them that were nigh.

Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians 2:18 For through him we both.(both Jews and Gentiles, as verse 11 and verse 19 shows).have access.(original means 'to have been brought close to', that is, that relationship with the Creator whereby we are fully and completely acceptable to Him).by one Spirit.(means in this verse that we {speaking here of those in Christ} are in the good part of the oneness that is everything {because by a miracle of the mind having awakened us we have chosen to be so} and so are others of different mind in this overall oneness, but they are separated by what they are today, but only for awhile are their frequencies of expression as they are).unto the Father.
Ephesians 2:19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners but fellowcitizens with the saints and of the household of God.

Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Emmanuel the Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Matthew 16:18; 1Peter 2:6; Acts 4:11.
Ephesians 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Lord.

Ephesians 2:22 In whom you also are builded together.(*).for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
God is in us.by means of.His spirit. God was also with the angels, but as all sentient beings have free choice, some left God's way of love to create their own ways, which didn't provide for them what the ways of God would have:.Jude 1:6. Why could they not do it? A rebellious nature is away from love. God is only love:.1John 4:8-16. But these wayward ones carried on with their cantankerous natures trying to make their own heaven on Earth, but just for them and failing miserably. And they are still trying. And what a mess they have made. Look at the results of what they have produced in the DUMBS and tunnels. One just can't produce anything good when supported by evil ways:.2Peter 2:12; Jude 1:10. Einstein saw this too.
