AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:3 Among these [unbelievers] we all once lived in the passions of our flesh [our behavior governed by the sinful self], indulging the desires of human nature [without the Holy Spirit] and [the impulses] of the [sinful] mind. We were, by nature, children [under the sentence] of [God's] wrath, just like the rest [of mankind]. |

Bible Note: Dear Colin, All who have chosen Christ have done so because He first chose them. 1 John 4:19 We love, because He first loved us. Simply...the love which entered our hearts swept us off our feet. Seeing Him as He is, we freely gave ourselves to Him. Our blind eyes were opened and our deaf ears were unstopped when we recieved the gift of grace from the Holy Spirit. We are not puppets under control of a puppeteer, but slaves set free from sin and Satan to love God for the first time in our lives. To God be the Glory, John |
