We were dead. God made us alive with Christ. Why? Because the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are, by nature, rich with mercy. Overflowing with kindness. As a guy said this week, God’s currency is mercy. He acted in grace towards us. Because of an irreducible quality of his very existence as the Triune God. The great love with which he loved us. There’s nothing greater than that. Nothing behind that. He loves us because he loves us. He showed mercy because he is merciful. Life is hard. The world and the devil want to eat us alive. We make horrible choices and get ensnared. But God loves us because he loves us.
