Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person.
The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
-2 Corinthians 5:17
4 Phases of New Life in Christ
DEAD
Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins.
-Ephesians 2:1
RAISED
4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)
-Ephesians 2:4-5
SEATED
For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.
-Ephesians 2:6
SENT
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
-Ephesians 2:10
