All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:3-10
Thanks to Nick Lee to lead us into the Word sharing. Yeah, from the book of Romans 5:1-5.
What are the 3 experiences we can experience when ‘we have been justified through faith’?
i. vs 1 peace with God Explain what does that mean. (Not enemies with God, not fighting with God)
ii. vs 2 gain access by faith into this grace. Explain what does this mean. (unmerited eternal favor of God, as a child of God.
iii. vs 2 hope of the glory of God. Explain what does this mean. (hope of one day to be transformed into the glorified body in the presence of God)
