Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Psalms 51:5 Surely I have been a sinner from birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
Ephesians 2:1-10 (NKJV) And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 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, 3 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. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
OUR CONDITION BEFORE CHRIST:
1. DEAD
Ephesians 2:1 – “…who were dead in trespasses and sins…”
Genesis 2:17 In the day that you eat you shall surely die.
2. DISOBEDIENT
Ephesians 2:2 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.
1 John 2:15-17 (NIV) Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
3. DEPRAVED
Ephesians 2:3 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.
OUR CONDITION AFTER CHRIST:
1. MADE US ALIVE WITH CHRIST
Ephesians 2:5 made us alive together with Christ
2. RAISED US UP WITH HIM
Ephesians 2:6 and raised us up together,
3. SEATED US IN HEAVENLY PLACES!
Ephesians 2:6b and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
WORKS ARE NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR OUR SALVATION BUT ARE A RESULT OF OUR SALVATION.
