Contemporary Western culture teaches us to believe that we can accomplish anything. As long as we hold that belief, the Gospel will be an object of scorn, because it teaches definitively that we cannot save ourselves. Without Jesus coming into our lives and taking everything over, we remain condemned to enslavement and death. However, as Alistair Begg joyfully proclaims, we do not have to stay that way. We can give our hearts to the one who can save us from that grim fate!
1And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body1 and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.2 4But3 God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
