  3. Ephesians 2 • What is this Power and Hope? It is the hope that • Those of us who were Dead in Trespass and Sin • Dead is a great Greek word: nekrous. Just like it sounds. • Sin is a word we have seen before– hamartias. • Lets play connect the dots

  4. Ephesians 2 2 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses 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 sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

  5. Ephesians 2 • Make a list of the things that were our death and trespass • Lust of the flesh • Desires of flesh • Desires of Mind– • Cool doctrines • Nifty Ideas • Justifications for Sin • Children of Wrath

  8. Ephesians 2 • Verse 4--- But God. . . • First, we need to find the sentence Paul is offering: • 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus

  9. Ephesians 2 • But God • Verse 7 Why would He Do this? The term in order can also be translated “For the Reason That” • What Reason does Paul give for God’s calling us out of Sin? • S R • G • K • T U • I C J

  10. Ephesians 2 • Ephesians 2:8 starts the Great Has Been of Ephesians. • Highlight each occurrence of the term Has Been • Now find each occurrence of the term “Are Being” or its forms. • We were • Lost • Far Off • Strangers to the Promise
