Efeským 2:1-10

God has given all of us a gift so amazing and so incredible that most people don’t know what to do with it. This gift is grace, and in this plan, Dr. Tony Evans teaches about the grace of God and how all encompassing it truly is.

In this plan we will read through the "king" passages of grace. We will memorize 6 words: You Were, But God, So That. We were dead, but God rescued us, so that we will have grace for ages to come. God wants us to follow Him, and grace is the seed that makes spiritual growth and maturity possible. Grace is ever growing, deeper and bigger than we know. With grace, discipleship is possible. 

Our new song called “The Power of the Cross” depicts two realizations. The first realization is that God has rescued believers from the power of sin. Sin doesn’t control us anymore.

In this world, we war against three main enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. The most difficult and personal enemy we face is what the Bible calls our flesh. The flesh cannot be conquered in any other way except by denying the wrong desires that entice us. Surrendering our lives to Christ gives us a new nature, and our old nature is to live in subjection to it.
