Graceful Word Daily: Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."

"The Gift of Grace"

Reflection Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us of the core of the Gospel: salvation is a gift of grace, freely given by God, and not something we can earn through our efforts. This truth humbles us, as it eliminates any grounds for boasting. It shifts our focus from what we can do for God to what He has already done for us through Jesus Christ.

Faith is the means by which we receive this gift, trusting fully in Christ’s finished work on the cross. It’s a beautiful reminder during this Christmas season that God’s greatest gift to humanity is not material but eternal—a gift of love, mercy, and unmerited favor that transforms our lives and assures us of a relationship with Him forever.

Takeaway Thought Salvation is a gift of grace, not earned but freely given, calling us to respond with faith and gratitude.
