Ephesians 2:1-10 1And you hath he quickened, who
were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye
walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the
power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:3 Among
whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the
children of wrath, even as others.4 But God, who is rich in
mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,5 Even when we
were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are
saved;)6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:7 That in the ages
to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward
us through Christ Jesus.8 For by grace are ye saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9 Not
of works, lest any man should boast.10 For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them.
The Apostle Paul is reminding us what we need to
continue to do. Anyone who hasn’t accepted Christ as his or her Savior is dead
in sin. When you ask Christ into your life there is a change, we should begin
to follow Christ. People should be able to look at us and say that person is
different, something changed in his or her life.
We are His workmanship, we are created in Christ
for good works. We don’t do good works to earn or keep salvation, but to show
our love and devotion to Christ.
The world is blinded by Satan. If you’re not saved
by grace, you’re controlled by Satan, and if you have accepted Christ as your
savior you need to live for Him and show Him to others through the way you live
your life.
