What does the Bible say about divine interference?

Throughout Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 2, we see examples of God’s divine interference. This concept is introduced with the phrase 'but God', which signifies a contrast between our state prior to His intervention and our state afterward. For example, Ephesians 2:1 describes us as 'dead in sins', but through God's mercy and grace, we are 'quickened' together with Christ. This divine interference is a manifestation of God's grace and love, showing that He intervenes in our lives to bring about spiritual life when we otherwise would be completely unable to do so.

Moreover, God’s interference is not arbitrary; it serves a purpose. Ephesians 2:7 mentions that in the ages to come, He might show the exceeding riches of His grace. This indicates that God's actions have eternal significance, extending beyond our immediate lives to display His character and grace throughout eternity. Understanding these truths helps believers appreciate the depth of God's mercy and the transformative power of His divine interference in our lives.
