In this section of Ephesians, Paul calls the Gentile believers to remember their past that they were separated from Christ, and excluded from citizenship in Israel, and foreigners to the promises of God, without hope, and without God. BUT NOW IN CHRIST JESUS, things are different. Now they are brought near. Now they have peace, now God has made "one new man," or "one new humanity" out of the two groups. Now it is just people who have faith in Jesus Christ, people who now have the Spirit of God indwelling in them. That new humanity has access to God and are included into the family of God. Then Paul used the illustration of a building where the foundation is the apostles of the NT and the prophets of the OT, and Jesus Christ is the cornerstone, the one that holds it all together. As believers IN Christ, that new humanity, is "being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit!"
