Before and after pictures are fun to see especially when there has been a drastic transformation. Some people transform their bodies, some their financial situations, yet nothing is more powerful than seeing someone who is "raised" from the dead in Christ.
Chapter 2 begins with our "before" picture and it's not pretty. We are consumed with sin.
Sin is "death" because we are...
- Walking in the "way of the world"
- Walking by the will of "the prince of the air" (Satan)
- Walking in disobedience
- Walking in the "lusts of the flesh"
- Walking as "children of wrath"
Praise the Lord, "But God...." follows this horrible sight. We will discuss being "made alive" in Christ next week.
