Believers are not what they should be, but by God's grace they are what they are, and that is not what they once were. The sermon outlines the state of humanity before salvation, detailing spiritual death through sin, physical domination by the world and disobedience, moral disobedience, selfish mentality, and judicial condemnation. It then contrasts this with the state of believers, emphasizing that through God's rich mercy and great love, they have been spiritually quickened, raised up, and seated with Christ in heavenly places. This salvation, by grace through faith, is a gift from God, not of works, and its effects are permanent, offering freedom from sin's dominion and condemnation.

Prayer for one another is essential for healing, as demonstrated by biblical examples. Abraham prayed for his nephew Lot, leading to his deliverance from Sodom. Moses prayed for his sister Miriam when she was afflicted with leprosy, resulting in her healing. Samuel, despite being sidelined by the younger generation, continued to pray for his people, emphasizing the importance of intercession even when feeling unappreciated. Job prayed for his slanderous friends, leading to his restoration. Jesus prayed for Peter, that his faith would not fail, and also prayed for his persecutors from the cross, demonstrating the ultimate act of intercessory love. These instances highlight that prayer for others, even those who have wronged us, brings healing and deliverance.
