Welcome to episode 175 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Ephesians, covering chapter 2:1-10. Today we cover:
- The state of mankind (both Jew and Gentile)
- The way in which God steps in.
- The means by which we access his grace.
- The beauty of God’s word and his redemptive plan for humanity.
Key takeaways:
- We had a heart condition. We were dead in our trespasses and sins. This was a universal condition because we all (Jew and Gentile) were dead in our trespasses and sins.
- Why did Jesus save us? All for the praise of his glory.
- Through this text we see beauty. We see the beauty of God’s power, the beauty in unity, and the beauty of God’s love.
Quotable:
- Main Idea: “It’s all to show the matchless Love and Grace of God.”
- “In response to our spiritual bankruptcy and our spiritual death we get an amazing response …. But God!”
- “He brought us from death to life, he put the miraculous defibrillator on our spiritual chest and brought us back to life.”
- “Faith is the means by which we gain access to the beautiful grace of God.”
Application:
- We must recognize our condition,
- In doing so, we realize our desperate need for a savior.
- In doing so, we realize the commonality we have with all people.
- In doing so, we realize that it was never about us. It wasn’t something I could earn, and it wasn’t something I deserved, but rather, it came from an overflow of God’s love.
