Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain Ephesians 2:19:
Ephesians 2:19-20
Excerpted from: The Purpose of the ChurchSo there the metaphor is shown to be a building.
There we have building terms, construction terms—foundation, cornerstone in whom the whole building being joined together—just like any building that we would build, whether a house or a skyscraper of some kind.
In each of these cases, the inference is describing something being put together by a master designer as a spiritual habitation. This is different from a normal building. We even saw in one place where we are described as living stones. You do not know of any other building that is made out of living stones. Everything else is concrete, steel, wood, plastic, rubber, and glass, not living stones, so you can begin to see that we are talking about a building designed by a designer that is alive. Get that point, this building is unusual, it is alive, it is a living organism, but the building metaphor is nonetheless there.
Ephesians 2:19-22
Excerpted from: God's Spiritual HouseHere we see that we have been given many examples of those who have built on the foundation of the saints, apostles, prophets, and of course, the chief cornerstone. And here is yet another affirmation of this great calling because we are considered of the household of God, being built a habitation for God in the Spirit, a spiritual dwelling. Now perhaps building spiritually might not seem as difficult, but let us just glance ahead here at a couple of chapters and read Ephesians chapter 4, verses 25 to 32.
