Ephesians 2:22

Key Reflection

In Ephesians 2:22, Paul uses vivid imagery to describe the church as a unified and spiritually edified community, likening it to a “holy temple” built upon Christ (v. 20). This temple is constructed through the believers, who are individually “fitted together” like stones in an architectural structure, reflecting both their diverse backgrounds—formerly outsiders but now reconciled to God—and their essential role as integral parts of this divine edifice.
