Ephesians 2:4

Alive with Christ

3All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.4But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
