Position Vs. Condition

First 3 chapters of Ephesians deals with our position in Christ as Christians and the next 3 chapters deals with our conditions as Christians, how we ought to walk as real Christians. Which one would really signify one is really saved?

Ahh ... I really hate having this presented as a dichotomy. I'm not faulting you as most popular preachers today teach it that way.



The first 2-3 chapters deal largely with God bringing the Gentiles into His new covenant.



Individuals are always taught to know that they know God by how they live. Are they living in sin or in obedience? Not that our obedience will ever be flawless ... but which is the pattern for our lives? The "condition" if we must use the term is the Biblical indicator of our relationship with God.
