Can a Spiritually Dead Person Choose God? | Ephesians 2 Explained

Send us Fan MailIs salvation by grace alone, by faith alone, or by faith plus works? Ephesians 2 gives one of the clearest answers in Scripture—and it begins with an even more striking statement: we were dead in our trespasses and sins.What does it actually mean to be spiritually dead? And if we were dead, how did we become alive?In this study of Ephesians 2, we look at what Paul says about spiritual death, God’s mercy, salvation by grace through faith, the place of good works, and the unity of Jews and Gentiles in Christ.Ephesians 2 makes clear that salvation is not something we earn or qualify for. God, being rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand for us to walk in.We also see how the blood of Christ has brought those who were once far off near, making Jews and Gentiles one household of God with Jesus Christ as the cornerstone.Join the Skool community: https://www.skool.com/estero-ekklesia-1658Support the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2394920/support Support the show
