Ephesians 2:16-18
Excerpted from: Truth (Part 4)

What God is doing is melting them both down and a new man, one new man, is being created. Notice the term "created"? A Master Craftsman, an Artisan, is at work on all of us. He instructs us. He chastens us. He does whatever is necessary to blend us all together into the image of what? Into the image of the one thing that we have in common—Jesus Christ. Not an image of an Israelite, not an image of a Gentile, but the image is of Jesus Christ. That is the direction that we are headed.

Now Christ is preached (verse 17). He came and preached. He did not do it Himself specifically, but He did it through His apostles, evangelists, and pastors, and so forth, and they preached to the people the truth of God, and through the truth of God, the Great God, the Creator, was revealed and they were led to Jesus Christ by the Spirit. One Spirit.

A fellowship is open as the result of the Spirit working in the lives of the ministry, the Spirit working in the lives of the hearers who are turning and responding and accepting Jesus Christ.
