Two years ago today

Two years ago yesterday I was dead. Dead in my sin. Dead to the knowledge of the love and forgiveness that Christ offers to those who are saved. Physically alive. Alive to the world. Spiritually dead.

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins…-Ephesians 2:1

Two years ago today I was born again.

In reply Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” –John 3:3

Two years ago today I was given a new life.

Two years ago today I was resurrected to new life and separated from the burdens of my sins.

In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. –Romans 6:11

Two years ago today I was set free.

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness. –Romans 6:18

Two years ago today I received my faith from God by his grace. I did not seek it. I did not want it.

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

All praise and glory be to God for two years ago today.
