In this section of Ephesians, Paul compares their old way of life to their new life in Christ. The old walk of life was dead in sin, disobedience, full of gratifying ones cravings, and it was the ways of the world, with the destination being God's wrath. Yet God loved us, and because He was rich in mercy, those who believe in Jesus Christ, who are found in Him, are made alive, are raised up and are seated with God in the heavenly realms IN CHRIST. Thankfully God in His grace, offered the gift of salvation IN CHRIST, and once it is accepted, we then walk the path which the Lord has set before us, and we do the good works He gave us to do.
