New Life In Christ
You know how weight-loss commercials and ads include those before and after images? Well, in chapter two the author of Ephesians gives us just that, a before-Christ image and an after-Christ image. The “before” image shows us as dead in our sin; dead in a secular culture that blurs right and wrong and dead in a pervasive self-centeredness that pollutes even the good we do with a curve inward. As appalling as our before-Christ image is, our after-Christ image is beautiful beyond description. God gave us dead people life. Now Christ lives in us, straightening, sometimes painfully, our curve inward. Such remarkable grace leads us to faith, and faith leads us to good works driven by love, not fear.
