Nevertheless, part 4

“And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 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—.” Ephesians 2:1-5

We were walking in sin. Spiritually dead and were children of wrath. But God…

But God, rich in mercy, because of His great love for us, has made us alive together with Christ! What great news!

This might be the most powerful “but God” statement. Imagine where we’d be without the hope found in these two words. God’s mercy and love towards us is endless. What is your takeaway from this “but God” verse?
