"But God .." is one of my favourite pair of words in the Bible. Everything seemed to be going inexorably in a certain direction, but then God intervened and turned everything upside down. God intervened while we were dead in our transgressions. We had nothing to commend us to God, and, as we were dead, no means of doing anything about the situation.
God did this out of mercy and out of His great love for us. We need to remember that we were utterly undeserving sinners, but we also need to be equally aware that God acted out of love. God is pleased that he has saved us, He delights in us.
We have been saved by grace, by God's undeserved favour.
