Made alive in Christ

Ephesians 2:

The Bible says we all lived at one time gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature, dead in our sins and the followed the ways of the world………. So true.

But the Bible also says “But, because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved.”

What a beautiful gift. We see again that He loved us before we loved Him. Wow. And we can’t do it without him. It is by His grace. It isn’t by any works or how “good” we are. It is ONLY because of His Love for us.

The one we need to be boasting about is Him. Again, it starts with Him. It isn’t by anything we could make up, do, say…….nothing.

Receive the gift again today. A fresh fall of his grace be on our lives. A fresh revelation of who He is and what He has done and what He wants to do. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

It starts by receiving Him by grace and being made alive in Him.

Church……..it doesn’t mean 4 walls, it means us who have been made alive, we are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens. Christ is our cornerstone.

My prayer today, let the Lord be our cornerstone, ask what that looks like in our lives and let a fresh infilling of His grace be in our lives today 🙂

Blessings!

  1. Every day is a new day in the Lord and His Grace is afresh each day. Iron sharpening iron. At our weekly Bible Study we have been realizing how true this is.
