Now by nature all men have this one thing in common Eph 2:1-3
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
However the Elect of God, Chosen in Christ before the foundation of the World Eph 1:4, even though by nature as others are 1. Dead in sin #2 walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air #3 we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; #4 were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Now heres what distinguishes the Elect Chosen from the non elect reprobate, even as children of wrath as others, the elect/chosen had been:
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
The elect as dead sinners, while children of wrath, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; having their conversation in the lusts of our flesh,
They were quickened together with Christ and were saved by Grace !
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
