2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
In a world where human reliability falters, there’s only one source for unchanging consistency: God’s grace. In today’s word from Pastor John, he encourages you to recognize that, despite people’s best intentions, they will fail you at one time or another, but God never will. Instead of placing your trust in the fallacies of mankind, invest in the unchanging, boundless reservoir of God’s grace. His grace is the constant that will never let you down, offering forgiveness, mercy, and love beyond what you can fathom.
Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Ephesians chapter 2 as he begins his message From Death To Life.
