“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked” (Ephesians 2:1). Before meeting Christ, we were trapped in spiritual death, utterly incapable of saving ourselves or earning favor with God. Our sinful desires controlled us and we were obliviously headed for destruction. Reflect deeply on what your life was like before Jesus. How did your spiritual death manifest itself? Were you constantly seeking fulfillment in fleeting pleasures? Were you aware of your distance from God? Thank God today for opening your eyes to see your condition and bringing you from death to spiritual life in Christ! You went from darkness to light, from slavery to freedom, from condemnation to forgiveness. We should never stop praising Him for showing us mercy and making us alive together with Jesus!

- In what areas of life do you still struggle to let the new resurrection life of Christ reign?
- What sinful habits or mindsets need to die that are not consistent with your new life in Christ?
