Ephesians 2- Part 2
Study and learn. Be changed. Ephesians 2 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not
Hi
ReplyDeleteI was looking for something else, when I came across your blog entitled 'Brainless?'
I absolutely love your reply and admired the way that you expressed yourself. As I read, what you wrote, I thought in one sense it's a shame you had to explain yourself like that! But in another sense I'm glad you did - as it showed the atheist that we, as the people of God, are not brainless at all or we wouldn't be able to work in the fields that we do...such as being Christian surgeons, midwives, police officers, teachers, actors/actresses, charity helpers, hospital attendants - the list is endless! Matthew (in the Bible) was a tax collector, Luke a DOCTOR! Need I say more? Please...
You wrote this back in 2013 it's now 2018 and those questions are still prevalent in many circles - that's why I'm responding even after four years!
Hope you're doing well. This blog is still relevant! God bless
