But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,
All Commentaries on Ephesians 2:4 Go To Ephesians 2
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
These are the true riches of God’s mercy, that even when we did not seek it mercy was made known through his own initiative…. This is God’s love to us, that having made us he did not want us to perish. His reason for making us was that he might love what he had made, seeing that no one hates his own workmanship.
