The Grace of God

Lady of Light

In Ephesians 2:8-10, it states:

"For by grace ye are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

So often, there is a tendency for us to think there is something we can do to earn our salvation or that somehow our works add to it, but in these verses, Paul is letting us know that our salvation is truly a gift of God, by his grace. As far as our works are concerned, they are ordained in God for us to do. This gives us a certain perspective on our relationship with Christ and also what our attitude should be in terms of the good things that we do.

Praise be to God for what he has done for us in Christ and how he allows us the privilege of serving him.

God bless you and have a great day!
