Ephesians 2:1-3 “2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.”
The Non-believer, the lost man or woman, is spiritually dead. They can walk around and the way they walk looks just like the world around them. I have suggested to folks when they gather for Thanksgiving or Christmas with their family, start looking at their lost family members as ZOMBIES. They are the WALKING DEAD.
Guess what? We was them! That what we used to be. What happened? That verse 3 is not the end of the story!
Ephesians 2:4-5 “4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),”
