Ephesians
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions
Transgressions of what?
and sins,
We know that sin is transgression of the Torah. I wonder why Paul makes a distinction between two types of transgression.
This much we know; We were dead in our transgression of the Torah.
Paul is speaking to those who began adhering to the Torah.
2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
They used to follow HaSatan who is at work in those who are disobedient. Disobedient to what? It would appear that they are disobedient to our heavenly father through their transgressions, including transgressing the Torah.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh" and following its desires and thoughts.
Romans 3:23 since all have sinned (trangressed the Torah) and come short of earning God’s praise.
Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
So when Yahshua died; our sin (transgression of the Torah) is to die with him.
Galatians 2:20 When the Messiah was executed on the stake as a criminal, I was too; so that my proud ego no longer lives. But the Messiah lives in me, and the life I now live in my body I live by the same trusting faithfulness that the Son of God had, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
As Yahshua was raised from the dead; we are to be reborn in faithfulness to YHWH's word, his Torah.
