Ephesians 2:1
"And you hath he quickened, who were
dead in trespasses and sins;"
We may be dead to the eternal world but we are alive to this world now, which is moving fast like the films of a moving picture. Behind the shifting scenes of the material, is the great enemy of souls. As the Spirit of God works in the obedient, so does the evil spirit work in the disobedient. We must look at the trinity of evil (the course of this world) the lusts of our flesh, and the prince of the power of the air. If we desire to save men, we must be in living union with the all conquering Spirit of Christ.
In God's purpose we have been raised from the grave of sin and are seated with the risen Lord in the place of acceptance and victory. We were one with Christ when He lay in the grave and arose. In God’s thought we have already taken our seat with the glorified Christ upon the throne; the only pity is that we do not believe this or act as if we had done so. All this is the gift of God’s unmerited love.
By grace have we been brought into this position, and by grace are we maintained in it. We are of God’s “making;” we have been created for good works; they have been planned for us and we have only to walk in them. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:10).
Amen!
