—Ephesians 2:1-10
by: Gabrielle Watt.
Followers of Christ were not always conscious of (or interested in) following Christ. In fact, before receiving the grace of God, our desires were to satisfy our flesh, and our actions were guided by our sinful, self-serving nature. In mercy, God has offered every person the gift of salvation. It has been made available to us by God’s grace, through faith. No one can work for it and no one can say that they earned their way into heaven. Once the gift is accepted, however, we are to do good works, follow the words of the Lord, and tell others about the gift of salvation that has been offered to us.
