Passage: Ephesians 2:1-3

Series: Strong Foundations

TEXT: John 3:3-8

The blood of Jesus purchased legal redemption, but man still had the nature of the devil. God had to actually changing man's nature.

Adam's sin plunged man into a horrible state. Ephesians 2:1-3

Every one of us was dead by being immersed in trespasses and sins. Sin comes as a result of following:

Desires of the flesh: the fallen human nature which is lustful, prideful, and self-centered. Galatians 2:16 / Galatians 5:13-21

And of the mind: The mind of man, when not renewed to the Word of God, will cause us to reason our way into sin. It is natural and normal for humans to sin. Colossians 1:21 / Ephesians 4:18 / James 1:14-15
