GOD, RICH IN MERCY AND LOVE

Photo provided by Marcia Oliveira

And you hath he quickened, who were
dead in trespasses and sins; 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: 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. 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;) And hath raised us 
up together, and made us sit together in 
heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 
That in the ages to come he might 
shew the exceeding riches of his grace 
in his kindness toward us through Christ 
Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through 
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the 
gift of God: Not of works, lest any man 
should boast. For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, 
which God hath before ordained that we 
should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:1-10
