Ephesians 2

Once we are dead, doomed forever because of your many sins. You use to live like the rest of the world, ful of sin, obeying Satan, the mighty prince of the power of the air. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us use to live that way, following the passions of our desires of our evil nature. We were born with an evil nature, and we were under God's anger just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mecy and he loved us so very much, that even while we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only because of God's special favor that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ, and we are seated with hima in heavenlt realms-all because we are one with Christ
