Ephesians 2:1-3
KJV 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
WEB 1 You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; 3 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.


These are my thoughts, please share yours.

1 Sin was leading us to death but thru Jesus we are saved and made alive fro Him. Sin leads to death but thru Jesus we have a reason to live and that is His love. We are to die to sin so that we can live for Him. Jesus defeated sin on the cross and gave life thru His resurrection.

2 We live as the world as Christians we are to live as Christ. We are no longer to live to please ourselves but live to please the Lord, our life as a Christian is to please Him and serve Him no longer about us, we can not come to Christ and still live for ourselves but many try to do this, self is one of the biggest idols God wants us to cast down to serve Him. To do anything against God’s will is sin; let us follow in His will.

3 We all have our fleshly desires sometimes Jesus takes these away right after coming to Him sometimes they stay around a while then go away but sometimes they stay with us and we have to constantly fight the flesh in that area. God will take way what we cant overcome. It is human nature to follow our desires but God wants us to follow Him and not let these desires stop us.
