Made alive in Christ (Ephesians 2:1-10)
Andrew Clark, 23 April 2017
Part of the Preach with a view series, Sunday Morning service
We turn to Paul’s rich writing in his letter to the church at Ephesus to unpack the transformation that the resurrection brings to the life of us all who trust in Christ’s work. Echoing his own testimony and experience, Paul talks about the transition from death, to life, to living fully alive to the great purposes God has for us as we engage in his mission in the world.

Ephesians 2:1–10 (Listen)
2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
