Another good message this morning. Ephesians 2:1-10 was the passage, and Pastor Jay clearly laid out the truth of the gospel, both the good and the bad:
In and of ourselves, we are...
-Dead in our sin (powerless to change or resurrect ourselves)
-Following Satan
-Children of wrath
BUT GOD...
-initiates our salvation
-substitutes Himself for us (exchanging what we have and deserve for what Jesus has and deserves)
-saves us by grace through faith
-changes our lives
-transforms us
The Gospel is indispensable and costly--it cost Jesus everything. We receive it freely.
What I take away from this: The challenge is to figure out how we can live this out every day--how we can allow Jesus to do a repeat performance of His life through us each and every day. It is certainly both humbling and also reminds me so much of His love for me.
