What is the significance of 'But God' in Ephesians 2?

Answered in 1 source

'But God' signifies divine intervention and the hope of salvation for sinners.

The phrase 'But God' in Ephesians 2 serves as a pivotal turning point in the narrative of human sinfulness. It indicates that despite our wretched state, God acts out of His great mercy and love to save us. This contrasts human inability with divine sovereignty, affirming that salvation is solely from God and not from ourselves. This grace not only rescues us from our dead state but also calls us into a new relationship with Him, a central tenet of sovereign grace theology.
