For these reasons we are "to the praise of His Glory" (v.6,12,14) Hallelujah!
In chapter 2 we find how we were dead in offenses and sin, useless, in disobedience, in the flesh and fallen thoughts of the mind, walking in darkness, and children of wrath....BUT GOD (v.4) was rich in mercy and loved us; loved even someone who was dead in offenses, and even raised us up in resurrection and glory where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. So we see that we are saved by grace and not by our own works, which were dead in God's sight (v.8-9). Additionally, God wants to build His church, the Body of Christ, so therefore, He has redeemed us from our vain manner of life and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His love from the kingdom of darkness. His desire is for us to have a new walk; a walk in newness of life. We are in Christ, the cornerstone of God's building, and we are growing into a holy temple of God in spirit. How marvelous! How wonderful! What a change in our life God has made in Christ Jesus! He is even bringing together Jews and Gentiles for His building work. So then let us walk in the light and walk with a purpose; a walk that is worthy of our calling!
