From Death to Divine Purpose

In this powerful exploration of Ephesians 2, we're confronted
with the stark reality of our spiritual condition before Christ
and the transformative power of God's grace. The passage paints a
vivid picture: we were once dead in our sins, enslaved to the
ways of the world, and deserving of wrath. But then comes the
pivotal phrase: 'But God.' These two words encapsulate the
incredible intervention of divine love. God, rich in mercy, made
us alive with Christ when we were spiritually dead. This isn't
just about escaping punishment; it's about being raised up and
seated with Christ in the heavenly realms. The magnitude of this
grace is so vast that it will take ages for God to fully express
His kindness towards us. As we contemplate this undeserved gift,
we're challenged to reconnect with our 'first love' and to live
out our purpose as God's masterpiece, created for good works He
prepared in advance for us to do.
