Those saved prior to the beginning of the Church the Body of Christ would be the members of Israel’s believing remnant-Israel’s 12 apostles, and all the other members of her “little flock” (Luke 12:32), all Jews who had trusted Jesus as Messiah-King. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.”įirstly, you made a good observation in remarking that Ephesians 2:19 has the phrase “fellowcitizens with the saints.” The noun “fellowcitizens” would refer to us (members of the Church the Body of Christ), while the noun “saints” would be those who were saved unto eternal life prior to us. And aside from that, Ephesians 2:13-14 tells us that the body was created at the cross & through the death of Christ on the cross.” Thank you for these great questions let us see what the Holy Spirit says in His Holy Word.īefore commenting, we should read Ephesians 2:18-22: “ For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. “If the church began Paul’s conversion why is it that in Ephesians 2:18-22 the apostles were included in the Body of Christ?
