15 "He remembered us in our low estate—and free
"
Our state by nature—was truly a low estate. We had . . .
no liberty—being the slaves of Satan;
no ability—being dead in trespasses and sins;
no honor—being allied only to traitors and rebels;
no real pleasure—being tossed about by desires and disappointments;
no prospects—except eternal woe;
no profitable employment—for the fruit of our toil was death.
Our nature was fearfully depraved;
our condition was truly deplorable;
our destiny was most alarming!
"BUT because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in transgressions; it is by grace you have been saved!" Ephesians 2:4-5
"He remembered us in our low estate—and freed us from our enemies!"
