Ephesians 2:1-10

Made Alive in Christ

Paul outlined out that all of us at one time were dead in our 

transgressions.

Review vs 1-4 as a group

While you were living in sin- following the ways of the world- did 

you feel that you were "dead?"

- Would you have ever admitted to being under the influence of a 

"spirit" that is at work in those that are disobedient? Would you 

have admitted to being disobedient, in the first place?

- Would you have seen yourself as an "object of wrath?"

Review vs 4 and 5

What is the normal way we respond to those that are "objects of our wrath?" What does it say about God's Love that He had His Son die for those that didn't deserve it?

Paul mentioned Grace in verse 5. Lets address this and the remainder of the chapter.

- What is Grace? How is it different than love?

- When he mentioned that it was by this Grace that you were saved- through faith- what does this mean?

- Is the fact that it took no work on your part to save you from death hard to comprehend?

- What would you tell someone that doesn't believe that faith alone would get you into the Heaven? If they believe that it is the things that you do on this earth that get you into heaven- how would you respond?
