A Word

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

Ephesians 2:8–9BSB

What it means

Salvation is grace received by faith, and even that is gift. Nothing about it originates in us, which is why no one can boast, and no one need despair.

Paul has described his readers as once dead in sin. But God, rich in mercy, made them alive. This is the summary.

Where it addresses you

  • You are trying to earn your standing with God.

  • You feel you have nothing to bring.
