Ephesians 2:2b-3a — The Spirit of Disobedience
This time, we're going to learn a little bit more about Satan. There are five basic questions and five basic answers:
- What is the spirit? Satan, the enemy of God.
- What does God think of Satan? He will crush Him.
- How does Satan work? By inciting disobedience.
- What do the lusts of disobedience look like? Rebellion against God
- What does disobedience deserve? The wrath of God.
Ephesians 2:2a — Walking in the Ways of the Dead
Now, I want to remind you again, we learn about sin because if we fail to understand our guilt, grace means nothing to us. If we want to understand the love of God, we must understand just how much we don't deserve it. The glorious truths of grace are coming (verse 4!), but we must first see our plight.
