What does the Bible say about hope for the unconverted?

The phrase 'but God' signifies the transformative power of God in the lives of those who are spiritually dead in sin. In Ephesians 2:4, it emphasizes that, despite being trapped under the burden of sin and God's justice, there is hope through God's rich mercy and love. He is capable of quickening those who are dead in trespasses and sins, making them alive through Christ. This means that as long as there is life, there is hope, and we are encouraged to pray for the salvation of our loved ones, just as Christ called individuals by name, inviting them into relationship.
