Have you ever done a study on these three verses?
 
Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
 
When were the times past?
 
Ephesians 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
 
When are the ages to come?
 
Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
 
How long will but now last?
 
In Christ,
Cindy

Dear Cindy,
In times past......the time before a man or woman was born again, all your personal life before Jesus Christ took up resident in your heart.

In the ages to come..... the time that proceeds from Christ's coming into the time in the future.....then of course the time less period we can't really comprehend with our finite minds....

But now.... is the reality of being in Christ Jesus, as a child born of God. This has time, and timelessness in it, for Christ is the Eternal Son, and we are in Him. Therefore, we have entered into the Eternal Son through the Eternal Holy Spirit.

In His grace,
RedRuby

I agree with Red Ruby.
