EPHESIANS 2:1-5

1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now
worketh in the children of disobedience:

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.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
(by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:

7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding
riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The Apostle Paul is talking to the Children of God. He reminds them
that we were dead in trespasses and sins.

And we walked according to the sinful nature we were born with.
but God has saved us, and have made us alive in Him.

But God, who is rich in mercy and who loves us with the agape love;
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE, SAVED US.

So Let us Rejoice in Him, that saved us by his grace through our
faith that we placed in Jesus Christ his only begotten Son.

It was a Gift from God; it was all God, We could never be good enough
or do enough to deserve God's Love and Salvation.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not Perish, but have
everlasting Life.
