And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (demon) who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:1-6

Ephesians 2:1-6
The transformation of a new creation is the most powerful supernatural act of a loving God for the sinner, of which all of us were! He gave His Son to die for us, to whom the punishment of crucifixion was due!
His blood was shed to share with anyone who would believe this unbelievable story of the grace of God given to sinners who didn't deserve His unmerited favor. Made to repent in godly sorrow, the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ was freely poured out to wash away our guilt and shame and purify us for service in His kingdom!
Have you received His grace to believe in this unselfish act of His kindness? Are you convicted of a life of sin and rebellion? If so, confess your sins to Him, repent of your disobedience to His commands, and surrender to His Lordship, and you will be saved!
For by grace, you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10
