Our series “Rooted” continues this week with the subject of “Sin and the Gospel.” Ephesians 2 dives into the doctrine of salvation—a helpful study for both the pre-Christian as well as the believer.

DIG
1. 2. 3.
What does it mean to be dead in transgressions and sins? What has caused this death?
In what sense have Christians been raised up with Christ? What is the relationship of grace and faith to this raising up?
Why do you think God chose grace rather than works? What is the relationship of verse 10 to verses 8-9?
REFLECT
1. What one word best describes your life before Christ? After Christ? How has your life changed since you met Christ?
2. What has God’s grace meant for you? What good works has God created you for? How will you go about accomplishing these this week?
