- Now….
- Alive with Christ – 2:4
- A place in the heavenlies – 2:6
- God’s workmanship – 2:10
Our relationship to each other has changed
- Previously
- The dead are apart from relationship
- Separate from Christ – 2:12

- Foreigners – 2:12
- Now
- Near – 2:13

It is the language of community, the language of the church….
