Ephesians 2:4-5 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
- We were dead. But God loved us.
- We deserved wrath. But God loved us.
- We were His enemies. But God loved us.
- We were in bondage to our sin. But God loved us.
- We were children of disobedience. But God loved us.
I am so thankful that God put a “but” in there! I am so grateful that He didn’t leave me where I was. God had mercy on us! We are no longer dead but have been made alive. We have been saved, sanctified, set free, and set apart. We are loved, chosen, and adopted by God.
- What have you faced in your life that could have been the end but God made a way?
- What are you currently going through that you need a “But God” addendum to?
