Scripture as Prayer: Ephesians 2:1-10

¹ And you were dead in your trespasses and sins ² in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit now working in the disobedient. ³ We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.

Help my church remember we were dead in our trespasses and sins in which we previously walked, according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit now working in the disobedient. Remind all of us that we used to live like the world with our fleshly desires, carrying out the promptings of our flesh and thoughts, and in our nature we were also children under wrath.

⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, ⁵ made us alive with Christ even though we were dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace! Share on: Twitter

⁶ He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the coming ages he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. Share on: Twitter

⁸ For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— ⁹ not from works, so that no one can boast. Share on: Twitter
