Ephesians
Chapter 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.

How do I know I’m saved?
1. You hate your sin. Hate winning against the holy God
- if we are saved, why do we still continue to sin?
A. Sin is fun.
B. We don’t truly understand who we sin against
C. It’s us not believing the Gospel. We reject the Gospel
- When we sin we bow at the seat of Satan. Satan can only give us death. Jesus gives us life abundantly
2. You realize you can never save yourself
We need the faith from God to believe. We are dead people. God chose us.
It’s not about how great my sin is, it’s about how great HIS love is.
3. You treasure Christ
Jesus is the gift of God.
