Tag: Bible verses about being made alive in Christ

Ephesians 2:1-2 (NKJV) 1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

There is so much to unpack in these two verses.

The incredible miracle of salvation is presented in this one short phrase; you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins.

It is hard for the human mind to comprehend that prior to Christ we were dead.

Our bodies were alive, but our spirits were not. They were dead in sin.

We once walked according to the course of this world. We were literally walking dead.

Why?

Because we were walking and living according to the prince of the powers of the air; satan himself.

We may not have known that we were walking the path of the evil one. That is because we were not yet alive. We were simply following the ways of the world. We knew nothing else.

We may have even considered ourselves to be good people.

But we lived 100% by the flesh and its desires. Whether we recognized it or not, our goal in life was to satisfy our flesh.

But by the blood of Christ, we were washed. And by faith in Christ, we were raised from the dead.

We were made new, alive in Him!

Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

The enemy no longer owns us. We are now a child of God, the Most High, Creator of all we see.

Let us cast off the ways of the world, walking as the new creations that we have been made, giving glory and honor to Him who gave all to save us.

Amen
