2. Ephesians 2:1-9
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 who now
works in the sons of disobedience,
3. Ephesians 2:1-9
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
4. Ephesians 2:1-9
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,
5. Ephesians 2:1-9
that in the ages to come He might show the
exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness
toward us in Christ Jesus. 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.
7. 1Corinthians 6:9-11
Do you not know that the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do
not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor
idolaters, nor adulterers, nor
homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor
thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
8. 1Corinthians 6:9-11
revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the
kingdom of God. And such were some of
you. But you were washed, but you were
sanctified, but you were justified in the
name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit
of our God.
9. Ephesians 2:1-3
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 who now
works in the sons of disobedience,
10. Ephesians 2:1-3
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.
14. •Such were some of you
•Now we are children of God
•We shall be like Him
15. 1John 3:2
Beloved, now we are children of God;
and it has not yet been revealed what we
shall be, but we know that when He is
revealed, we shall be like Him, for we
shall see Him as He is.
16. 2Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the glory of
the Lord, are being transformed into
the same image from glory to glory,
just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
17. •Such were some of you
•Now we are children of God
•We shall be like Him
18. 1Corinthians 15:51-57
Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not
all sleep, but we shall all be changed—
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
19. 1Corinthians 15:51-57
For this corruptible must put on
incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible
has put on incorruption, and this mortal
has put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is
21. 1Corinthians 15:51-57
The sting of death is sin, and the strength
of sin is the law. But thanks be to God,
who gives us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.
