What God does in us is a direct reflection of His character
Exposition

Additional material: The Attributes of God by Arthur W. Pink
Exposition
Verse 4
But God, being rich in mercy,
God is full of mercy.
If we are sinful and children of wrath (v3), we deserve punishment
Every other act of God toward us is an action of His mercy
because of the great love with which He loved us,
Why is God merciful toward us?
It is rooted in His love for us
Verse 5
God is full of mercy and love.
even when we were dead in our trespasses,
God is full of mercy and love and knowledge.
made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved-
In His mercy toward us, God gave us awakening through Jesus.
When God calls, He is effective
When God calls, He is missional.
Verse 6
and raised us up with Him
In His love for us, God gave us ascension with Jesus.
1 Pet 2:10 we are now God’s people
1 Pet 2:11 we are sojourners/travelers in this place
1 Pet 2:12 we are exiles from this place
and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
In His knowledge of us, God gave us authority from Jesus.
Matt 16:13 “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
Matt 16:14 John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah/prophet
Matt 16:15 “Who do you say that I am?”
Matt 16:16 “Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matt 16:17-18 This “rock” has not been revealed by flesh, but by God.
The church is built on this foundational truth.
Our authority on Earth is from Jesus for the sake of proclaiming the effect of sin and the availability of salvation.
Our authority on earth
Verse 7
Everything that has been discussed is in the past, now we see the action God does in the future:
Show grace
Show kindness
How are these displayed?
Call to Action
First Application Point Action: if you have been awakened, put to death the unfruitful works of darkness.
Second Application Point Action: if you have ascension, don’t try to have compatibility with the world
Third Application Point Action: if you have been given authority, be a prophet!
(Attractional ministry is good, but there is no more effective draw than the TRUTH.)
