WOO-HOO

Eph 2:1-8
1And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly {places} in Christ Jesus,7 in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, {it is} the gift of God;(NAS)

The message in church today was out of this passage. For believers, it shows where we were before we were saved, now, and where we will be in the future. As unbelievers, we were hopeless failures, spiritually dead, objects of God's wrath. But God showed His mercy by raising us up with His son so that through eternity He could show us His grace. THROUGH ETERNITY. God's grace, brought to us throughout all eternity. As our pastor said: WOO-HOO!
