Ephesians 2:4–10 proclaims the breathtaking truth that while we were spiritually dead and helpless, God acted out of His rich mercy and great love to make us alive with Christ. Our salvation is entirely His gift—an overflow of grace, not the result of our efforts, achievements, or worthiness. Because of this grace, we are now God’s workmanship, created anew in Christ to walk in the good works He has lovingly prepared for us to live out.

Luke 6:27–37 calls disciples into a radically different way of life—one shaped not by retaliation or reciprocity, but by the generous, surprising mercy of God. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and forgive as freely as the Father has forgiven us, reflecting His heart to a watching world. In a culture driven by self-protection and payback, Jesus invites us to embody a love that looks like Him—strong, sacrificial, and utterly transforming.

2 Samuel 9 shows David extending covenant kindness to Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s disabled son, not because of worthiness but because of a promise rooted in loyal love (ḥesed). The former rival is brought out of exile, restored, and seated at the king’s own table as if he were a son. This chapter paints a powerful picture of God’s grace toward us—He seeks us, restores us, and invites us to share life at His table.
