2 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins 2 in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit now working in the disobedient. 3 We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were nature children under wrath as the others were also.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us, 5 made us alive with Christ even though we were by dead in trespasses. You are saved by grace!

Christian Standard Bible (Nashville, TN: Holman Bible Publishers, 2020), Eph 2:1–5

    Every one of us has sinned, living disobedient to God. We have chased and carried out the desires of our flesh and thoughts This, by nature, has placed us under the wrath of a Hol God. This is a hopeless condition; standing guilty before the Judge Although sin places us under the wrath of a Just God, He is also a God of love, and that love is rich in mercy and grace. Through Jesus, God has chosen to offer us forgiveness; a way to stand righteous before the Judge.

    This is grace. It is totally undeserved, offered through Jesus simply because He loves us That is a hope-filled condition. That is amazing Grace!
