"For he himself is our peace, who has
E made the two groups one and has
destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall
N of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh
the law with its commands and
N regulations. His purpose was to create in
himself one new humanity out of the
E two, thus making peace, and in one
body to reconcile both of them to God
S through the cross, by which he put to
death their hostility" (Eph 2:14-16 NIV).

5. Openness and intentionality work together in reciprocal
fashion.
Intentional ministry requires the believer to take
purposeful and planned steps to bring the body of Christ
into oneness; but predicates and builds on one's ability to
have an open mindset.
Likewise, the purpose behind a believer seeing others
through the lens of openness is to create a passageway for
them to enter into adoption of the elect through Jesus
Christ.
That passageway hinges on intentional strategies and
activities in ministry.
