mercy

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. 
And God raised us up with Christ 
and seated us with him 
in the heavenly realms 
in Christ Jesus, 
in order that in the coming ages 
he might show 
the incomparable riches of his grace, 
expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
[Ephesians 4]
