       This brings us back roundabout to what was being said a couple weeks ago, in discussing the conversion experience for the Christian. And it was said that it is indeed an experience, where one transforms from one life to another life, a new life. Paul contrasts the difference of the old life with the new life. Characteristics of the old are, one, alienated from God. Not having peace with him. Not knowing him. And two, he says we were “hostile in mind.” That is, we followed ways that were not in alignment with God’s ways. This brings to mind what Paul told the Corinthians, remember, in chapter 6, and this ties in well to our theme here of “eternal punishment”? He said, “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10, ESV).
