The document is a passage from Ephesians 2:1-10 describing how humanity was spiritually dead due to sin but has been saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It states that before accepting Christ, people were spiritually dead due to living according to sinful desires and following Satan. But because of God's great love and mercy, he made believers alive with Christ even when they were dead in sins. Salvation is solely by God's grace through faith in Christ, not by works, so that no one can boast. Those who are saved have been created by God in Christ Jesus to do good works.

3. EPHESIANS 2:1-10
1 As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, 2 in which you
used to live when you followed the ways
of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now
at work in those who are disobedient.

4. EPHESIANS 2:1-10
3 All of us also lived among them at one
time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh
and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature
deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his
great love for us, God, who is rich in
mercy

5. EPHESIANS 2:1-10
5 made us alive with Christ even when we
were dead in transgressions—it is by
grace you have been saved. 6 And God
raised us up with Christ and seated us
with him in the heavenly realms in Christ
Jesus,

6. EPHESIANS 2:1-10
7 in order that in the coming ages he
might show the incomparable riches of
his grace, expressed in his kindness to
us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you
have been saved, through faith—and this
is not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God—

7. EPHESIANS 2:1-10
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which
God prepared in advance for us to do.

8. SERVICE

9. Andreas Lubitz, the
Germanwings co-pilot
believed to have
deliberately crashed flight
4U9525 last week, did
online research into cockpit
doors and suicide methods
in the days leading up to
the crash, according to
Düsseldorf prosecutors.
(http://www.theguardian.com/)

10. As French investigators
announced they had found
the second black box
recorder from the wrecked
plane, Ralf Herrenbrück,
the German prosecutors’
press spokesman, said the
a tablet computer found in
the co-pilot’s flat had been
analysed.
(http://www.theguardian.com/)

11. It strengthens investigators’
initial suspicions that co-
pilot Andreas Lubitz
intentionally destroyed the
plane, though prosecutors
are still trying to figure out
why. All 150 people on
board flight 9525 from
Barcelona to Düsseldorf
were killed in the crash
on 24 March.
(http://www.theguardian.com/)

12. None of the 150 passengers
and crew are thought to have
survived the Germanwings
A320 crash into a steep hillside
in the French Alps. “The plane
is disintegrated. The largest
debris is the size of a car,”
Gilbert Sauvan, president of
the general council of the
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, told
France’s Les Echos
newspaper, adding in a
separate comment to AP:
“Everything is pulverized.”

13. The largest group of
victims on Flight 4U9525,
which was flying from
Barcelona to Dusseldorf, is
feared to comprise 16
teenagers from a school
near Dusseldorf, who were
in Barcelona on a
weeklong exchange trip.

14. HOW CAN YOU BE
SAVED?

15. OPTION #1
WORKS

16. RELIGION BELIEF
Buddhism Ceasing desires saves you
Confucianism Education, self-reflection, self-cultivation, and living
a moral life saves you
Hinduism Detaching from your separated ego and making an
effort to live in unity with the divine saves you
Islam Living a holy life of good deeds saves you.
Orthodox Judaism Repentance, prayer, and working hard to obey the
law saves you.
New Ageism Gaining a new perspective through which you now
see that you’re connected to all things as a divine
oneness saves you.
Daoism Aligning yourself with the dao to have peace and
harmony saves you.

17. You are SAVED
by YOU.

18. OPTION #2
GRACE

19. You are SAVED
by JESUS.

20. Those of you who have trusted in your own
works, it is not the faith that saves you, it’s the
object of faith that saves you, and you may be
trusting in a false religious system, a false
moral system, or a false spiritual system.
You’re not saved just by having faith in
someone or something, that object needs to
actually be a Savior who can save.

21. JESUS alone is worthy of our faith,
JESUS alone is our Savior, and if anyone
is trusting in anyone or anything other
than him or in addition to him, they’re
trusting in the wrong thing, and they will
not experience salvation.

22. EPHESIANS 2:5
5 made us alive with Christ even when we
were dead in transgressions—it is by
grace you have been saved.

23. We’re not saved by what we do or who
we are, we’re saved by who he is and
what he does, and that’s grace. That
means unmerited favor, undeserved love.

24. This means that God pours out his
affection not just on the undeserving, but
the ill-deserving, in fact those who were
previously his enemies.

25. SAVED IN THE
PAST, IN THE
PRESENT, AND IN
THE FUTURE

26. IN THE PAST, WE’RE
SAVED FROM THE
PENALTY OF SIN

27. If you are in Christ, if you are a Christian, if
you belong to Jesus, there is no penalty of sin
for you, meaning God does not punish you
when you sin. There may be consequence
for your sin, but he’s not punishing you,
because Jesus has already been punished
in your place for your sins.

28. It also means if you are in Christ, once you
die, you will not suffer an eternal penalty
for your sin, because Jesus already paid
for it at the cross. It’s what it means in
saying it’s grace.

29. IN THE PRESENT,
WE’RE SAVED
FROM THE POWER
OF SIN

30. The moment you meet Jesus that’s the
beginning of your eternal life, you’re saved in
the present from the power of sin, and that
Jesus doesn’t just change you when you
die, he changes you the moment you
become one of his.

31. IN THE FUTURE,
WE’RE SAVED
FROM THE
PRESENCE OF SIN

32. And there will be a day, just as Jesus rose, we too
shall rise. And the Bible says that we’ll be totally
new, thoroughly new, and that sin will be no more.
There’ll be no suffering, no sickness, no sin. There’ll
be no death, there’ll be no devastation, there’ll be no
destruction. It will be the world as God created it
before sin corrupted it. It’ll be the world as Jesus
remakes it by his own glory, and that’s called the
kingdom of God.

33. ARE YOU
SAVED?

34. SAVED FROM
WHAT?

35. EPHESIANS 2:1-3
1 As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, 2 in which you
used to live when you followed the ways
of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now
at work in those who are disobedient.

36. EPHESIANS 2:1-3
3 All of us also lived among them at one
time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh
and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature
deserving of wrath.

37. DEATH

38. EPHESIANS 2:1
1 As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, 2 in which you
used to live when you followed the ways
of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now
at work in those who are disobedient.

39. Death is the result of sin. Where there is
no sin, there is no death. That’s why in
the kingdom of God, we will not die
because we’ll be saved from the
presence of sin and death will be no
more.

40. You can be living, physically,
while yet dead spiritually.

41. You don’t love Jesus, you don’t hate
sin, and you’re going to die and taste
eternal death forever.

42. TRESPASSES
AND SINS

43. EPHESIANS 2:1
1 As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, 2 in which you
used to live when you followed the ways
of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now
at work in those who are disobedient.

44. God’s Word is filled with laws, boundary
markers, and when we cross one, we’ve
trespassed. We’ve crossed a line.
We’re in a place we’re not supposed to
be, doing a thing we ought not do, and
there’s consequence for that.

45. WORLDLY
LIVING

46. EPHESIANS 2:2
1 As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, 2 in which you
used to live when you followed the
ways of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now
at work in those who are disobedient.

47. This is how everybody thinks, this is how
they act, this is what they do, and it
seems normal because that’s what the
majority is doing, that’s where the
majority is going. But morality is not
determined by the majority.

48. SATAN’S
PEOPLE

49. EPHESIANS 2:2
1 As for you, you were dead in your
transgressions and sins, 2 in which you
used to live when you followed the ways
of this world and of the ruler of the
kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now
at work in those who are disobedient.

50. Not only are there God’s people, there
are Satan’s people. Not only are there
those who are empowered by the Holy
Spirit, but those who are empowered by
demons.

51. Maybe he is empowering their life so that
others would be enticed toward a life of
sin, and folly, and rebellion, so that
others would see that he is willing to give
them what they want as long as he gets
what he wants: their soul.

52. PASSIONS OF
FLESH

53. EPHESIANS 2:3
3 All of us also lived among them at one
time, gratifying the cravings of our
flesh and following its desires and
thoughts. Like the rest, we were by
nature deserving of wrath.

54. You’re born with an old nature, you’re
born again with a new nature. Part of
what it means to become a Christian is
not just to become a better you but a new
you with a new nature. The old you with
the old nature, he marks it by our mind
and our desires.

55. PSALM 37:4
4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give
you the desires of your heart.

56. NATURAL
TENDENCIES

57. EPHESIANS 2:3
3 All of us also lived among them at one
time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh
and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature
deserving of wrath.

58. The wrath of God is to create in us a sense
of urgency that we’re under a death
sentence, that the clock is ticking, that after
this life there is no second chance, that we
better get this thing straightened out with
Jesus right now while there’s still time
because it’s a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God.

59. SAVED BY
WHAT?

60. GRACE

61. EPHESIANS 2:4-5
4 But because of his great love for us,
God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us
alive with Christ even when we were
dead in transgressions—it is by grace
you have been saved.

62. Dead people don’t make decisions. Apart
from Jesus, you’re spiritually dead, but God
makes us alive in Christ, God puts life into us,
God brings us from separation to
reconciliation. That’s what God does, and then
we respond with faith, but the faith is in
evidence of our salvation.

63. EPHESIANS 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith—and this is not
from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9
not by works, so that no one can
boast.

64. SAVED FOR
WHAT?

65. TO DO GOOD
WORKS

66. EPHESIANS 2:6-10
6 And God raised us up with Christ and
seated us with him in the heavenly
realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in
the coming ages he might show the
incomparable riches of his grace,
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ
Jesus.

67. EPHESIANS 2:6-10
8 For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—and this is not from
yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by
works, so that no one can boast. 10 For
we are God’s handiwork, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which
God prepared in advance for us to do.

68. SEVEN THINGS
ABOUT GOOD
WORKS

69. All works by God’s grace
for God’s glory are good
works.

70. Most of Jesus’ good
works were as a
carpenter, not a preacher.

71. There’s no such thing as
sacred and secular work
for Christians.

72. Discover the good works
God has set before you.

73. You don’t need new
works—you’ve got way
too much to do—but to
infuse your current works
with grace.

74. We are not saved by our
works, but we are saved
to our works.

75. God does not need our
works, but our neighbor
does.
