Ephesians 2:4-8 - "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved--and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God"
What a potent injection of the gospel! Straight into the bloodstream!
Our utter depravity--our deadness. Due to our trespass. But! God, rich in mercy and love, creates a means by which he shows us the immeasurable riches of his grace, namely through Christ. Raised us up with him. Seated us with him. And best of all, it is not our doing. God fulfills the covenant through Christ. Really?! because of his great love towards me, through the death of his beloved son, the infinite omnipotent God will show me the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness?
It is the gift of God....I mean I just got a pretty sick authentic throwback Hester jersey...but uh, I'll take Ephesians 2 please.
