Dead by Nature, Alive by Grace - Ephesians: Grace in Christ

The beauty and brightness of a precious diamond is seen and appreciated all the more when it is set against a dark background. So it is with the beauty and greatness of our salvation, the crown jewel among the rich blessings of God's grace in Christ. Only when set against the dark backdrop of our condition apart from God, can we know and appreciate the immeasurable greatness of his saving power for us, which has made us alive in Christ out of our natural state of being spiritually dead.  In Ephesians 2:1-10 we look at the great treasure that is our salvation by God's grace through faith in Christ.
