GET OUT OF THE GRAVEYARD<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ephesians 2: 1-10<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

WALKING DEAD\u00a0 \u00a0Ephesians 2: 1-3<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

And you were\u00a0dead in the trespasses and sins\u00a02\u00a0<\/strong>in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following\u00a0the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in\u00a0the sons of disobedience\u201d\u201d\u00a03\u00a0<\/strong>among whom we all once lived in\u00a0the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and\u00a0were by nature\u00a0children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.<\/span><\/h3>\n

1 Corinthians 2: 14<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are\u00a0folly to him, and\u00a0he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Psalm 51: 5<\/span><\/h3>\n

Behold,\u00a0I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Romans 7: 14-19<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh,\u00a0sold under sin.\u00a015\u00a0<\/strong>For I do not understand my own actions. For\u00a0I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.\u00a016\u00a0<\/strong>Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with\u00a0the law, that it is good.\u00a017\u00a0<\/strong>So now\u00a0it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.\u00a018\u00a0<\/strong>For I know that nothing good dwells\u00a0in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.\u00a019\u00a0<\/strong>For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.<\/span><\/h3>\n

John 8: 44<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires.\u00a0He was a murderer from the beginning, and\u00a0does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.\u00a0When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.<\/span><\/h3>\n

John 3: 18<\/span><\/h3>\n

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not\u00a0believed in the name of the only Son of God.<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

WILLFUL LOVE\u00a0 \u00a0Ephesians 2: 4-7<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

But God, being\u00a0rich in mercy,\u00a0because of the great love with which he loved us,\u00a05\u00a0<\/strong>even\u00a0when we were dead in our trespasses,\u00a0made us alive together with Christ\u201d\u201dby grace you have been saved\u201d\u201d\u00a06\u00a0<\/strong>and raised us up with him and\u00a0seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,\u00a07\u00a0<\/strong>so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable\u00a0riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Romans 5: 6-8<\/span><\/h3>\n

For\u00a0while we were still weak, at the right time\u00a0Christ died for the ungodly.\u00a07\u00a0<\/strong>For one will scarcely die for a righteous person\u201d\u201dthough perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die\u201d\u201d\u00a08\u00a0<\/strong>but\u00a0God shows his love for us in that\u00a0while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.<\/span><\/h3>\n

1 Peter 1: 3<\/span><\/h3>\n

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!\u00a0According to his great mercy,\u00a0he has caused us to be born again to a living hope\u00a0through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

WORKING GRACE\u00a0 \u00a0Ephesians 2: 8-10<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

For\u00a0by grace you have been saved\u00a0through faith. And this is\u00a0not your own doing;\u00a0it is the gift of God,\u00a09\u00a0<\/strong>not a result of works,\u00a0so that no one may boast.\u00a010\u00a0<\/strong>For\u00a0we are his workmanship,\u00a0created in Christ Jesus\u00a0for good works,\u00a0which God prepared beforehand,\u00a0that we should walk in them.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Philippians 2: 13<\/span><\/h3>\n

for\u00a0it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for\u00a0his good pleasure.<\/span><\/h3>\n

2 Corinthians 5: 17<\/span><\/h3>\n

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is\u00a0a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.<\/span><\/h3>\n

2 Corinthians 9: 8<\/span><\/h3>\n

And\u00a0God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.<\/span><\/h3>\n

2 Timothy 3: 16-17<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,\u00a017\u00a0<\/strong>that\u00a0the man of God may be complete,\u00a0equipped\u00a0for every good work.<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
