As children of wrath, we deserve to be separated from God in hell. Thankfully, the passage continues, “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).
Shukrani kubwa kwa Mungu kwa sababu ya ujumbe ufuatao ambao wasema, “Lakini Mungu, kwa kuwa ni mwingi wa rehema, kwa mapenzi yake makuu aliyotupenda; hata wakati ule tulipokuwa wafu kwa sababu ya makosa yatu;alituhuisha pamoja na Kristo; yaani, tumeokolewa kwa neema” (Waefeso 2:4-5).
