Best News Ever
By: Pastor Amie
“Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.” Ephesians 2:1-3
Before God: We were spiritually dead. We were hopelessly enslaved. We walked among the disobedient. We were subject to God’s judgment. We were living under the dominion of the evil one. We were lost.
BUT GOD.
“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:4-6
With God: We are alive. We are enthroned. We are objects of Grace. We fellowship with Christ and are in union with Him. We are found, loved, and made heirs.
This is the best news ever. You cannot earn it. You don’t deserve it. Yet, He desires you to grab it. It’s a gift freely given to those who call on His name. For those who repent and believe.
Heavenly Father, I praise you for your love is relentless. In our highest highs and our lowest lows, your goodness follows me all the days of my life. If you will have me, I give you all of me. I love you back, with all that I am.
Amen
