Questions 1. What is the "because" statement in 4b grounding... God's mercy and His actions toward us? Or just His actions? It seems like the statement fits well as a bilateral. It's both the mercy and the actions towards us that His love grounds. So, He loves us when we're unlovely. This causes Him to act in mercy, which displays itself in three ways: 1) He enlivens us, 2) He raises us, 3) He seats us. 2. How do the two grounding statements in 8a and 10a ground vs 4-7? The first statement appears to create a connection between the grace shown in "coming ages" and the grace shown to us in the past. This future grace, then, is not a new thing, but a continuation of grace received in the past. Thus, God will show you grace in the future, which shouldn't be a surprise to you, because He's shown you grace in the past. It's all of grace! The second "for" tells us why none of us may boast. We are God's workmanship, not our own. We were created by Him... this too gives us no reason to boast in us, and plenty to boast in Him. Anything that we do for Him is prepared by Him both in the actual act itself, and in our disposition to do the act.
