But God who is rich in mercy, not but we who still had an island of righteousness finally lifted ourselves up from our bootstraps or inclined ourselves to change our ways, but man who is powerful morally said no to this wicked course and quickened himself from the dead. That's not what the Bible says. It says, but God who is rich in mercy. What I hear God saying is he comes into the room after the doctor has pronounced that man dead. What I hear Paul saying here is that God quickens us when we are dead. A better analogy would be that the man has gone under for the time, and he's at the bottom of the sea, and God dives in the water, and he takes that dead man, that corpse from the bottom of the sea, and brings him out on the dry land, and he leans over, and he gives him mouth to mouth resuscitation, and he breathes his life into that man and that man is restored from the dead. That's what the bible is saying about the divine initiative. That that step of quickening from the dead, from the flesh unto spirit, transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light is accomplished by God, not by me.
