We were Called out of the Dead; out of the Spiritual Deadness of Humanity. For God is in the business of resurrecting the dead and with folks like us, he has begun the process by taking away our hearts of Stone and giving us Hearts of Flesh which love Him. And regenerating the mind so instead of being in enmity with Him, can hold faith and understand the things of God.
Gloating is not in the picture when it is out of the Dead.
Reminds me of a saying when our children, squabbled over the size of the cookie they got for a snack, said 'He got more, it isn't fair'. She said, what is fair is for All of you to Get NO COOKIES.
God says He will "have Mercy on whom He will have mercy and Compassion upon whom He will have Compassion" (Romans 9:15). We do well to remember that it was out of the Dead that He did this.
