Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-23

Ephesians 2:1 (NKJV) 1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,

This is such an incredible statement; “you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins”.

The enormity of what is being said there is way too easy for us to skim right over and miss.

You He made alive.

Who?

Us; those who were dead in trespasses and sins.

Ponder on that for a moment or two. Think of the gravity of that statement.

We were dead under the weight and consequences of our own sins.

Dead.

Not alive. But dead. Not living.

Merely existing, but without life inside of us.

We were hollow, empty shells.

But God breathed life into our spirit when we embraced Christ and the sacrifice He made for us.

And we became alive. Alive in Christ!

It was then that our life began. It was then that we were born of the spirit, not of the flesh or human desire.

John 1:12-13 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And because of that that we now live, made alive despite our trespasses and sins!

Amen. Thank you, Father, for new life in Christ!
