• The God that holds you over the pit of hell,
  much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome
  insect over the fire, abhors youhis wrath
  towards you burns like fire he looks upon you as
  worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the
  fire.
• -- Jonathan Edwards

Us

Ephesians 13-7

• Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
  Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every
  spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
  Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the
  foundation of the world, that we should be holy
  and without blame before Him in love, having
  predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus
  Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure
  of His will, to the praise of the glory of His
  grace, by which He made us accepted in the
  Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His
  blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
  riches of His grace.

Ephesians 21-9

• As for you, you were dead in your
  transgressions and sins But because of his
  great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
  made us alive with Christ even when we were dead
  in transgressionsit is by grace you have been
  saved. And God raised us up with Christ and
  seated us with him in the heavenly realms in
  Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he
  might show the incomparable riches of his grace,
  expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
  For it is by grace you have been saved, through
  faithand this not from yourselves, it is the
  gift of God not by works, so that no one can
  boast.
