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] |
Subject: The double cure of Grace |
Bible Note: The double cure. Sin, legally, requires death. God's grace paid the fine required. Much better than posting bail He spent the time for me letting me be free. As a free man though I choose, to often, to sin. God's grace gives me a second cure. It gives me the cure of my desire to sin, my inability to keep from sinning. As a down payment here on earth the Holy Sprit fellowships with me and encourages me to live right. One day I'll be given the robe of righteousness, that Jesus paid for, and by grace my adoption will be revealed. |
