Dead Because of Nature
Trespasses and Sins
Definition of “Dead”
Paul described the human condition in 2:1–3.
He explained how people were “dead in transgressions and sins” (2:1), cut off from the life of God and controlled by their own selfish desires (2:3).
Beyond this they were ensnared by the power of Satan (2:2).
As a result men and women apart from Christ are without life, without freedom, and without hope.
Difference Between Trespass and Sin
Chapter two continues Paul’s thoughts about God’s eternal purposes in Christ.
In 2:1–10 Paul discussed how sinful people who deserve nothing but God’s wrath can be redeemed by His grace.

Alive Because of God
God’s Love
John 3:16
Illustrate this point By His grace He has granted new life to believers ().
The basis for the new life is God’s great love and mercy.
Believers have been united with Christ in His resurrected life.
Formerly people apart from Christ were dead, enslaved, and objects of wrath.
In Christ believers are now alive, enthroned, and objects of grace.
