The writer of Ephesians has some pretty sour things to say about mankind: we are enslaved to unfiltered desires and thoughts, attempt all means to gratify our cravings, and live in perpetual moral failure. To top it all, he declares we are “dead in transgressions” and, therefore, “deserving of [God’s] wrath.” This is a serious spiritual heart condition. The cure only comes by God’s grace. Jesus Christ suffered the penalty for our sin, taking the brunt of that wrath; therefore, by faith in Jesus we can cure spiritual death and be made alive. In this message, we will explore the decaying effect of our sin, learning how the death and resurrection of Jesus can reverse these effects.
