Eph 2:11-13 (NIV) Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
NOTE: Why is it so important to remember where we came from? I think if we don't realize how undeserving we were of our salvation that we being to take it for granted. We don’t fully appreciate how lost, helpless, and hopeless we were. When we don't appreciate, we are not thankful. When we are not thankful, we live in a manner that reflects our selfish, me-only philosophy of life. When we are not thankful, we forget God. When we forget God, we try to live our life in our own power. Lord, forgive us for our thanklessness and for not remembering all that you have done for us.
