Text: Ephesians 2:1-10
Fully devoted followers of Jesus trust Him alone for their salvation.
- 1. Salvation by Works: Hopeless
- No one can live a perfect life.
1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, Eph 2:1 (NIV)
- No one can cover their sin by doing enough good works.
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. Eph 2:8-9 (NIV)
- 2. Salvation by Grace: Amazing
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– Eph 2:8 (NIV)
- Salvation comes by grace alone as a priceless gift.
- Salvation comes by faith alone in Christ Jesus.
Final Thought:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”—Jesus (John 3:16 NIV)
