But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which
he loved us... (Ephesians.2:4)_________
We are poor and dying souls in sin on our own- separated from God's life. But God is rich in mercy because of the great love with which he loved us by sending Jesus.
Even when we were dead in our sins, God made us alive together with Christ. He loves us because it is God's nature- not because we did anything to deserve it. By grace you have been saved. (See Eph. 2:5)
Believer you have a place where you are truly at home. He has raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (See Eph. 2:6)
God's love is forever with us... so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Eph. 2:7)
Let's turn our hearts to our Lord.
Father, thank you for your love, Thank you that in Jesus we will grow forever in the riches of your love without measure, Help us to surrender our heart so that we walk with Jesus into the rest of your wonderful care. Amen.
Today's very great and precious promise
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God (Eph. 2:8)
We have God's Word on it.
