Ephesians 2:8-10

King James Version (KJV)



8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.


8For by grace, you are saved through faith and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God. 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has ordained before that we should walk in them.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.

8 We are saved by grace, we can do nothing to earn it is free to us but, it did have a price that cost Christ His life. We could not earn salvation my any means ourselves if we could than Christ would not have came to die but He is the only way to receive grace.

9 Boasting often show pride coming to salvation should be humbling because there was no way we could come to Him but by Christ which we can because of grace. To many times people want to do something to gain credit and show focus on them but, we should always bring focus to Him because we can not earn our salvation but it is given to us to spread praise not about ourselves but of Him.

10 We can not work for salvation but because of salvation He works thru us. We will do works because of salvation because after we come to faith He will work thru us for the better purpose. The works He leads us to do not give us salvation but are done because of our salvation.
