Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10
Memory verse: Ephesians 2:1-2, “And you He made alive, who were dead in transgressions and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the prince of power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons.”
When you see a pig slush in mud or filth, it does not bother you because you know it is a pig’s nature to live in filth. However, if you see a man slushing around in filth you will consider it abnormal because humans do not naturally do so. Paul in writing to the Ephesians was making them understand that before they got saved, they sinned by default like a pig slushing in filth. Your spirit man was crafted for the purpose of sin. It had no choice but to sin.
Sin was in our DNA. However, Jesus has saved us and translated us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God. Stop believing the lie of the devil that you can’t stop an evil habit. That is exactly what it is, an evil habit formed over time. Now that you are born again, you have righteousness in your DNA. This means that your new man is crafted to live righteously. You were fashioned for good works not to do evil. When you see yourself as God sees you, I assure you that you will be set free from every evil habit.
