Day 8: Ephesians 2: 1-3: Dead in Sin, Made Alive in Grace

The gospel is not self-improvement. It is resurrection from spiritual death.Paul describes humanity apart from Christ as spiritually dead: caught in sin, shaped by the world, and unable to save themselves. This is not about weakness but spiritual death. Yet this sets the stage for the radical contrast: everything God does in salvation is resurrection, not improvement. Reflection: Do I underestimate how deeply I needed spiritual rescue?
