A Visual Picture of Ephesians 2:1-10

February 2, 2010 by David Leventhal

I love this passage of Scripture for a lot of reasons. When the Lord first really captured my heart in 1993 one of the first passages I committed to memory was Ephesians 2:8-9 & that has served me well over the years. Another reason I love this passage is because there is such a clear pivot point. With accute clarity Paul shows us our reality before Christ & our reality after Christ. And it all hinges around two small eternity altering words in verse 4: ”but God”. Everything before these words seem to rush them & then from them flow new life.

I spent some time this morning mulling over this passage….I pray that I never grow tired hearing about the richeness of God’s mercy & the great love with which he loved us. And since I’m a visual guy I laid out the passage in a way that seems to flow with Paul’s argument.

Good stuff honey. That’s a great visual. I love Ephesians too…chapter 1 is my very favorite and the place I dwell when I need to remember WHO I am and WHO I belong to!

Thanks for sharing your devotional thoughts with me this morning! As I think about God’s goodness today, I’ll remember the picture of His grace that you painted for me! Have a blessed day in the Lord!
