We were dead and on the road to hell

Posted

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 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: 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.” Ephesians 2:1-3

We were spiritually dead in our trespasses and sins. We walked according to the ways of this sinful world. We followed the counsel of the devil and his evil angels. We fulfilled the sinful longings of our flesh. And, along with multitudes of others, we were headed to eternal suffering in hell. But … by the gracious working of the Holy Spirit through His Word, God revived us and gave us life through faith in His Son, Christ Jesus!

Thank you, O gracious Father, for raising us up from spiritual darkness and death and granting us life through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior! Amen.

[Scripture is quoted from the King James Version of the Bible.]
