Before and After
Ephesians 2:1-10 NKJV
BEFORE JESUS
And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 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, 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.
AFTER JESUS
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
These verses are a part of ones I have put to memory. They tell the story of us all. Of our deliverance from no hope to the children of God. Not because we deserved it but just because of God’s mercy and great love for us. It is all God! We bring nothing to the deal besides our acceptance of what was done for us. Wow and thank YOU!
