Summary

We don't have to achieve racial reconciliation, it exists. It is a reality that we must walk in, but it has already been accomplished in Christ. In this session, Voddie Baucham unpacks Ephesians 2:10-11 to show the sufficiency of Christ's death on the cross to bring us near in perfect reconciliation. In recent years we have a growing concern about “social justice.” What is meant by that phrase, however, varies widely among those who use and promote it. What is too often missing—even in the calls for “social justice” coming from Christian leaders—is a clear understanding of biblical justice. Justice exists because God is just and righteous. He is the One who defines justice and He has revealed what true justice is in the Bible. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org. This presentation was given by Dr. Voddie Baucham on January 5, 2019 at the Southeast Founders "Do Justice, Love Kindness, Walk Humbly" regional conference in Cape Coral, Florida.

0:00.0	all right Ephesians chapter 2 as I was saying that we're gonna look at the red-headed stepchild of of Ephesians and that's
0:07.0	Ephesians chapter 2 verses 11 and following most people if you we all love Ephesians
0:15.4	amen then we all love Ephesians chapter 2 up to verse 10 right you say Ephesians chapter 2, up to verse 10, right?
0:22.1	You say Ephesians chapter 2, everybody, we start quoting, if we just started quoting
0:26.5	and just, you know, just reciting it from memory, we'd be good all the way up to about
0:32.6	verse 10.
0:34.0	And then people are like, wait, there's more?
0:45.3	And the answer is absolutely, there's more in Ephesians chapter 2. It's all good, amen?
0:48.3	Ephesians chapter 2 is just good, but I mean, in verse it get it just gets gooder and that's not even a word
0:59.2	you know and so we are going to look at at at that part of the past part of the
1:05.5	chapter that but as we do here's what I want us to understand.
1:13.6	That in the midst of all of this, in the midst of these discussions about social justice and race and sex and, know all these other things at the end of the day
1:34.0	the question is what does god say about us what does god say about us what does god say about us?

1:51.0	And when we start talking about who we are in Christ,
2:00.0	when we start talking about our unity in Christ, our brotherhood and our
2:06.9	relationships, do we believe that the Bible is sufficient in that regard? And one of the
2:13.8	scariest things about all of this talk is that we're beginning to see a new hermeneutic develop.
