*Ephesians 2: From Death to Life | Thinking Kingdom Podcast* In this episode of the Thinking Kingdom Podcast*, we dive deep into one of the most powerful chapters in Scripture—**Ephesians 2**. What does it really mean that we were *dead in our sins… and are now alive in Christ? We kick things off with a fun tier ranking of the Pauline epistles before getting into the heart of the discussion. From there, we explore:

• The contrast between our old life and new life in Christ
• What Paul means by being “saved by grace through faith” (Eph. 2:8–9)
• How faith, works, baptism, and obedience actually fit together
• The role of spiritual forces in our former way of life
• How Jesus breaks down the barrier between Jew and Gentile
• Why the church isn’t optional—but central to God’s plan
• The connection between Ephesians 2 and Psalm 68’s victory imagery

We also tackle some big theological questions, including:

• Is “faith alone” really what Paul is teaching?
• What does “workmanship” actually mean? (Hint: you’re not just a worker—you’re a masterpiece.)
• How should we understand salvation without turning it into a checklist?

This chapter isn’t just theology—it’s identity. You were dead… but God. --- 📖 *Key Text:* Ephesians 2 🎙️ *Podcast:* Thinking Kingdom If this episode challenged or encouraged you, make sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it! --- *Tags:* Ephesians 2, Bible study, Christian podcast, Thinking Kingdom podcast, grace through faith, faith vs works, salvation explained, Paul theology, New Testament study, Churches of Christ, baptism and salvation, faith alone debate, gospel teaching, Bible teaching, Christian theology, spiritual warfare, unseen realm, Psalm 68, divine council, Jesus saves, church and salvation, Christian living, Bible podcast, scripture study, exegesis, Christian discussion
