5/6/15

We see sinful man as very sick, we paint the picture of sinful man, laying in the bed, too weak to get out on his own. When someone comes to his bedside with the magic cure for his sickness and says to him; “here, I have provided a cure for you, reach out and take this that I bring to you and you will live, all you have to do is take it. Oh please, reach out and take it.” But the bible says that that man in the bed is dead, he cannot reach out and take the medicine, what the man really needs is to be born again, made alive, before he can reach out, before he can do anything.

Eph 2:4  But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

Eph 2:5  even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

Eph 2:6  and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
