Ephesians 2:8
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
What it means
Here is the gospel in miniature. You are saved by grace, God's unearned favor, received through simple faith. And even that faith is not a work you produce to impress Him. The whole thing is a gift. This is the end of anxious striving and the death of boasting. We come with empty hands and receive everything in Christ, who paid what we never could. Rest here. Your standing with God rests on His gift, not your performance.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
