BEFORE
AND AFTER
I. BEFORE
1.
Spiritually
Dead
Rom 5:12
12 Therefore,
just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus
death spread to all men, because all sinned.
2.
Under
the domain of Satan
Eph 2:1-3
And
you He made alive, who were dead
in trespasses and sins, 2 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 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.
3.
Blind
to the things of God
Eph
4:17-19
17 This
I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as
the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having
their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God,
because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.
2 Cor. 4:4
4.
Hopeless
Eph
2:12-13
12 That
at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens
from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants
of promise, having no hope, and without
God in the world.
5.
Hoodwinked
2 Cor. 4:4
3 But
even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose
minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the
light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should
shine on them.
6.
Enemies
of God
Romans
5:10
10 For
if, when
we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

His Blood

with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him
who called us by glory and virtue.
