Ephesians Part 3 Listen Download Slides Notes
Andy speaks on Ephesians 2v1-10. We are adopted to be inheritors of all that He has passed onto us through Christ. Things may look bad...but God. "But God" trumps the circumstances. The passage speaks first of our condition, then it speaks of God's response "But God...". Finally it speaks of the nature of that salvation. What God did for Jesus He did for us so that we become God's workmanship, even poetry, on earth.
