NASB | Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:5 even when we were [spiritually] dead and separated from Him because of our sins, He made us [spiritually] alive together with Christ (for by His grace--His undeserved favor and mercy--you have been saved from God's judgment). [Rom 6:1-10] |
Bible Question:
I am interested in eveyone's take on when the disciples were made alive together with Christ, the actual definitive event. Another way of putting this is when were the disciples united in faith with Christ into the body of Christ? Should we say that the disciples were united with Christ when they first believed, or at Pentecost when the church started? If the disciples were walking around and doing the work of Christ while He was a live in His name, weren't they "in Christ" then, saved then, by grace? I would greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts on this. Sorry I posted this in the wrong place the first time. blessings abound, bowler |
Bible Answer: Brother Bowler, in luke 9:1, Jesus calls out his Apostles and gives them power and aurthority over all Devils and the ability to cure diseases and they bring others to christ. luke 10:1 Jesus sends out seventy others and gives them the same assignment. the 10th chapter of luke is a continuation of chapter 9. in verse 19 Jesus tells them not to glory that they have power over Devils but glory rather that thier names are written in heaven. you can also find a condensed version of this account in Matthew 10, also in Matthews account it gives a list of the twelve and No L.uke was not an original member of the twelve but he was a companion of Paul. God Bless and keep digging |
