Review of chapter 1
There are two deeply ingrained myths our culture believes about evil
The main problem in the world is other people.
Deep down, we’re not really that bad.
We let sin control what we do and how we think, we buy into the i of SIN
What about good people?
There are no good people ()
Our good works are filthy rags to God
vs. 1-3
what does Paul mean when he says “you were dead in your trespasses and sins”?
We sin because we are sinners; we are not sinners because we sin
in vs. 3 what is wrath?
Simply put, “wrath” refers to God’s righteous anger.
Directed at human sin
He is loving and forgiving, but He is also holy & sin is a rebellion against Him
Notice the past tense Paul uses.
Why?
Because we were dead in sin.
The human race has been dead in sin and we’ve been dead too.
But, for some of us, that’s in the past now.
Our story is different now, and we’ll see it in the new few verses.
vs. 4 - BUT GOD.. the largest conjunction
BUT GOD.. the largest conjunction
What is so important here?
What
Verse 4 turns the corner from death to life.
We WERE dead.
We WERE sinners.
Read 4-5, what has God done for us?
Continue reading through verse 7
What has God done for us?
Loved us
Made us alive
Saved us
Raised us up
Seated us with him in heavenly realms
Will show His grace
Shows kindness
vs. 4 mentions that God is “rich in mercy”
What is mercy?
how does it differ from grace?
Grace is always associated with giving; mercy is associated with help.
Here you can think of mercy as God not giving us the punishment we deserve and grace as God giving us the blessings we don’t deserve.
Read vs.8-10
Past
You have been saved by grace through faith
You have been created and prepared
Present
Continual faith
No boasting
Future
Good works that we do
The timing is important because we need to know that our good works come after our salvation and not before it.
Many people have the idea that we have to earn our salvation by doing good things.
We can never do that.
Once we’re welcomed into a relationship of God’s grace and our faith, we are empowered to do the good things God designed us to do.
Good works are good, but they’re the result of our salvation, not the path to it.
vs.10 mentions that we are his workmanship (masterpiece/handiwork).
The greek word here is poiema
This is the word we get poem from.
It refers to something that God in His divine power is carefully crafting.
Last Word
You are a divine crea
Cause, Means, Effects, Promise
The cause of salvation is grace.
God did it all.
God drew us to Himself and even gave us the ability to believe.
He restored us.
The means of salvation is faith.
Faith is not simply a religious feeling or a virtue; faith is the belief that Christ has accomplished it all-just like He said He did-and simply resting in that.
The effects of salvation are good works.
When God saves you, He makes you alive, which means He starts to change your desires.
… Our faith is validated-proved-by good works.
The promise of salvation is that what God started, He will finish.
God has started writing a poem with your life, composing your life into a beautiful song that glorifies Him.
Christianity is not about you doing anything for God, but you letting Christ do everything through you.
God does all the work in you.
He is the
