In this episode we will use the composition clue of compare and contrast to look carefully at the contrast Paul makes between who we were and who we are after becoming followers of Jesus.  The two words "but God" are critical to understanding this contrast.

We were dead. We are alive
We used to follow the chief deceiver.  We now sit in heaven with Christ.
We were children of the wrath.  We are now saved by grace.

I hope you'll join in and examine these contrasts and the reason why we see the "but God" in these verses and in doing so you will be encouraged in your relationship with God.

The Bible is for everyone.
