But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

The Mercy of God and the Jesus Treatment, Part 2

How To Live With Christians With Different Convictions
In every church there will be Christians who hold different convictions from each other on non-essential gray areas. It is very easy for one believer to despise or judge another under these circumstances. In this passage, the apostle Paul shows us why we should not judge or despise one another in these situations.
Love Limits Liberty
How should we live with other Christians when we disagree over secondary issues? Paul exhorts those strong in faith to give up their Christian liberty to eat and drink certain things when it may hinder another believer in his walk with the Lord. Our aim is to accept one another, build up one another, and please one another.
God’s Masterpiece
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
