Ephesians 2:1-3

New Life Individually
2:1And although you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2:2 in which you formerly lived according to this world’s present path, according to the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the ruler of the spirit that is now energizing the sons of disobedience, 2:3 among whom all of us also formerly lived out our lives in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as the rest…
“New life” for the Christian is at the same time the simplist of things and terribly complicated. I can’t presume to know others’ Christian experience, so perhaps my observations on this passage will not make much sense to many.
It took a long time (I’m a slow and stubborn learner) for the truth of living to please an invisible God, as opposed to living in and for the world, to really sink in. Even as I write these words, I wonder how much sense they make. All I can reasonably say is that this truth is important to me, as I dare hope it will be for you. -sdg-
