Ephesians 2:8-9 Grace Upon Grace Summary: Today we're going to talk about the most important subject any of us could think of: How can we be saved? Sin has created a deep canyon between us and God so that we can't know him by our own strength or good works. So how can we know Him? Paul tells us: God must give us His grace and the gift of faith so we can trust in Jesus as our Savior! Let's think about it: Outline: 1. How are we saved? a. Grace is the root b. Faith is the instrument 2. How to be condemned: a. Believe that salvation comes from within yourself b. Work as though salvation depended on you 3. Why is salvation all of grace? So would boast in God alone Verse: Ephesians 2:8–9 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.
