The words that describe God's motivation and character are "loving""merciful" and "full of grace". We "come alive" when we are in Christ.

He is loving and full of mercy is what is the basis of His character,The verb that may best describe what has happened to me in Christ is attainment of my salvation like reaching for the prize of my calling and inheritance.

God's great LOVE for us only shows us that His mercy and grace is undeserved by are own rightousness.

" our righteousness is as filthy rags"

However God's character shows us that by HIS grace we can be saved not by own own doing but by His infinate LOVE.

He has made us ALIVE unto GOD.

Mercy, love and grace. Without his mercy we wouldn't ever make it. His love covers everything. Without grace we will always fall short of being good enough to make it to heavan.

"Great love" and "rich in mercy" describe God's motivation and character.

"Made us alive in Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--" describes what has happened to us in Christ. We have been saved through His grace.

God gives us mercy and grace. His character is uniqe because only God gives grace - we people always give something to gain something, only He is the apsolute giver, grace is one-sided gift, moreover it is gift which we are not and will never will earned. In Christ we get LIOFE.

god is so full of mercy,so full of compassion and affection for us, he is tender.now, i don't know about you,this really is the opposite of what a holy god in my mind would be. you know, i'd be looking for a god who is distant and unconcerned. someone who should be angry at all of us.but this god, who is full and overflowing with mercy, saw our need of life and he met it and he gave it through his son, which is unconditional love in the flesh.his love is beyond reason, flows through every part of his mind, his heart, and his will. wow,and like the prodigals father he ran to us. he is simply...amazing!

These two verses contain the whole gospel - short and to the point!

God's motivation is his great love for us and the fact that he is rich in mercy and compassion.

The result for us? We were dead in sin and are now made alive through his grace.

He has recreated us in His image as He originally intended by taking the judgment we deserve and placing it on Himself at the cross.

God's motivation and character described in these verses are Mercy and Grace.

The verbs made and alive describe what has happened to us in Christ.
