God saw us in the darkness of sin and ignorance. He saw us hopelessly lost. And we were not able to save ourselves. And so we’re told here “being justified without cause by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,” and God saves us by grace. “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” that you and I might have redemption, and we are saved, therefore, without a cause by His grace through the redemption that’s in Christ Jesus.
