Eph 2:5 NLT
that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)
Dead
For believers being dead is done. It is in our past. So let’s leave it there. You don’t go around digging up dead smelly things, so it is the same with what and who we were before Christ. Forget it, it’s dead!
Life
This is also a past done deal. We have life because of the work of Christ. He raised us from the dead with Christ. We are alive in Christ, with Christ to live a life for Christ, an abundant life. So live it!
Grace
It is only by God’s grace that we are saved. We are saved from death. We are saved for life. All through God’s grace. Not because we are great people, but because God is gracious. Praise Him!
