We weren't just struggling in our sin, we were spiritually dead until God, in His great love and mercy, made us alive through grace by faith in Jesus Christ. Now that we've been given new life, we're called to walk in the good works God has already prepared for us, living as grateful trophies of His grace rather than trying to earn His favor.

You were dead

God made you alive 

Live the life He prepared 

Life Group Discussion:

JP said, "Dead people don't need advice, they need resurrection." Where do you find yourself trying to "try harder" instead of depending on Jesus?

The words "But God" completely change the story. Can you share a "But God" moment where His grace redirected your life?

Paul says we're saved for good works, not by good works. What is the difference, and why does it matter?

What is one practical step you can take this week to "walk in the works God prepared" for you?
