It is the sad state of every person outside of Christ. We have each failed in the eyes of a holy and righteous God. We are sinners. Our lives do not bring glory to God. Because we are sinners, we cannot please Him with our self-righteousness and religious works, no matter how good our motives or our works.
Yes, “But God.” How beautiful are those words to the depraved sinner.
Yes, “but God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us” (v. 4).
That same holy and righteous God had “mercy” on us. The word means loving kindness, help in the time of need. It is God’s active intervention to help. He is the Helper of the helpless.
He treats us in mercy because He loves us.
