Past-Present-Future of the church Ephesians 2: 1 -10
Past: Separated from God And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, - Ephesians 2: 1
in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. - Ephesians 2: 2
Past - Separated from God because they followed: • Course of this World • Prince of Power of the Air • Spirit of Disobedience
Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. - Ephesians 2: 3
Results • Slaves to the Flesh • Wrath of God
Present: But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, - Ephesians 2: 4
even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ ( by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 5 - Ephesians 2: 5 -6
Present • Alive in Christ • Raised from the Dead • Set with Christ in Heaven
so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. - Ephesians 2: 7
In God’s eyes, all of this is already complete.
Why has God done this? He is merciful.
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 8 - Ephesians 2: 8 -9
