Mercy Study Tee | Ephesians 2:4
Mercy meets us where judgment was deserved.
The word translated “mercy” in Ephesians 2:4 comes from the Greek word ἔλεος. It carries the meaning of compassion, covenant loyalty, steadfast lovingkindness shown to those in need.
Paul writes, “But God, who is rich in mercy…” before he ever mentions grace in the passage. Mercy is the reason grace was extended. Mercy withholds the judgment we earned. Grace gives the gift we did not earn.
This Study Tee presents the English truth clearly while grounding it in its original Greek meaning. It reminds the believer that salvation flows from the compassionate character of God.
