But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )
Perhaps the two sweetest words in the whole Bible are found here, "But God. " In the verse just preceding, it is stated that believers were 'children of wrath even as others' before their conversion. But God had a great love for them, which led him to "quicken, " that is, "raise to life, " those who were dead spiritually. Paul then adds emphatically, "By grace, you are saved. "
