Ephesians: Life Together In Christ | Saved by Grace Pt. 1 (2:1-9)

Ephesians 2:1-9

Before Christ, people are not merely dumb or deficient; they’re spiritually dead and filled with disdain for God with nothing they can do to change it.

Colossians 1:21-22 // Psalm 14:2-3 // Genesis 6:5 // Romans 1:18-21,24-25, 28

There is Only ONE Means of Salvation:

Spiritually regenerate faith in the infinitely merciful and unfathomably loving grace of God, in Christ.

John 3:8, 6:44 // Matthew 9:12-13, 36 // Titus 3:4-6

“Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines Him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God’s kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” — A.W. Tozer

Application:

SIT in humble amazement at your own salvation!
