This week, we look at spiritual death and God's transformative grace. Reflecting on Ephesians 2:1-3, we acknowledge our universal brokenness and enslavement, emphasizing that we were all once spiritually dead. There is a stark contrast between living in the flesh and living in Christ. Being a Christian isn't just about the afterlife but experiencing new life now. We're reminded to view others not as enemies but as people in need of life. The world tends to be a place of despair, with a real enemy at work.

But God's love and mercy make us alive with Christ and offer incomparable grace. We live in gratitude, knowing that salvation is a gift, not earned. We stress the importance of maintaining hope amid worldly challenges, living out our new life, and being ready to share the reason for our hope.
