Because of God's Great Love (25-Pack) -
human beings--our body, mind, and will are all tainted. It's tempting to think that we are born neutral, with the ability to choose between being "good" or "bad"--between following God or not. But the Bible says this isn't the case. Rather, our natural inclination is to sin (James 1:14-15). And we love that sin too much to turn from it by our own power: "no one seeks for God. . . . No one does good, not even one" (Romans 3:11-12); see also (John 6:44). Unable to come to God or even to desire to do so, we are born spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1, 3) and are "by nature children of wrath." Against this backdrop comes one of the most beautiful and remarkable phrases in all of Scripture: "but God . . ." "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved." (Ephesians 2:4-5) While we were still living "in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind," (Ephesians 2:3) and absolutely deserving of eternal punishment--God sought us out and saved us. This was "not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior" (Titus 3
