Dead in trespasses and sins
"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins" (Ephesians 2:1 KJV). I once walked in my trespasses, and I found myself bound by sin and lost in darkness. I had given myself over to the demon spirits of this world without realizing it. I was ruled by the passions of my flesh. I was corrupted in thought and imagination. The cravings of my desires only grew deeper and darker. I was a slave to darkness. I was blinded, lost, and on my way to eternal misery, on my way to Hell. I had no idea how far sin could take me. I had no idea how addicting many of the things of this world could be unto my soul. At the time, I didn't care about anyone else. All I wanted to do was satisfy my needs. It was me first. I was all alone, stained with sin, bound in my addiction, and filled with sickness. Everyone rejected me, even those who I called friend, and no one was around. Death came to seduce my mind and grab a hold of it, telling me to die. A great darkness was around me, and I could not get out of it. All of the sudden I began to cry out to God the Father inside of my heart, and as I began to cry out light and peace began to come upon my soul. Before I knew it mercy, forgiveness, and lovingkindness filled the place that was once saturated in darkness. I knew Jesus walked into that place and paid the price for me, which He paid for everyone of us at the Cross. God bless you. Amen
