Chapter 2 Made Alive in Christ 1As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,2in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.3All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved.6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– 9not by works, so that no one can boast.10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Our works in the world have not and will not save our soul. God chose to save us on the cross. At this point what else is left that we can give which is pleasing to God? Us!

When Christ died on the cross, it was God's gift (salvation) to man. We should say Thank you!! Salvation and Faith are gifts which we didn't earn, can't earn! So we should say Thank you with gratitude, praise, and joy.

It's unmerited favour, not by our good works but the love of God.

We don't have to do anything to be saved but ask and put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We can never do anything to be worthy of this gift nor can we do anything to earn it. Grace is underserved and only our faith in God makes us deserving of his love, grace, and mercy.

It saying that when Jesus payed the price of our sins on the cross he made a sacrifice of grace for us and we are not saved by ourselves and that God has shown us mercy.

Grace comes from God. Faith comes from God (Romans 10:17). Salvation comes from God. I'm glad I received all three.

Subject: You (anyone who has been saved) Verb: have been saved By What Means: by grace, through faith, NOT of works
Salvation, therefore, is the gift received by grace, through faith. Salvation, therefore, is not of works, but the gift proferred by the hand of God by grace, received through faith.

again, it by grace only and not of works, or one's own doing unless one should boast and be proud. it is a free gift of God and all we have to do is to accept it. if we don't accept His free gift, it won't do us any good.

It is not by works that we are saved, we are saved by our faith. BUT, it is by our works that we show our faith to others.
