Sermon Bible Commentary - Ephesians 2:10

Ephesians 2:10 Christian Men God's Workmanship. I. The special infirmities of men vary. The fault of our nature assumes a thousand forms, but no one is free from it. I look back to the ancient moralists, to Plato, and to Seneca, and to Marcus Antoninus, and I find that they are my brethren in calamity. The circumstances of man have changed, but man remains the same. How are we to escape from the general, the universal, doom? We want to remain ourselves and yet to live a life which seems... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ephesians 2:1-22

Ephesians 2:1 . You hath he quickened. The word quickened is not in the Greek, but the old Latin version repeats it here from the fifth verse, presuming it to be implied. It reads well without it, thus: And you, when dead in trespasses and sins, wherein you once walked, &c. Who were dead in trespasses and sins. In Colossians 2:13 the apostle uses a similar expression: “You being dead in your sins, and the uncircumcision of your flesh.” Sinners are also said to be “alienated from the... read more

Ephesians 2:10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.Justified persons are God’s workmanshipGrace here means God’s free gift. Our salvation is entirely God’s gift to us; and it must be so, because we cannot make it or get it for ourselves; we have no power of our own to make it for ourselves, nothing of our own to offer in exchange for it. If our salvation does not come to us as God’s free gift it can never come to us at all. But, though our salvation is entirely... read more
