Ephesians 1-2

January 10, 2008



When did God put his power to work in Christ?

When God raised Jesus from the dead and seated him at his right hand.

What does being saved by grace mean? For what have we been created?

Salvation is all from God without any merit on our part. We could never be good enough, work hard enough or long enough to deserve salvation. I often wonder why once we are saved we spend so much energy trying to deserve our salvation and so little time enjoying our salvation. Perhaps that is one reason why we are so hesitant in sharing our faith with others.

We don’t appreciate the joy of our salvation enough to want to share it with our friends or are motivated enough to make friends with those who are in need of the gift of grace we have received.

We have been created to do the good works that God had prepared for us to do beforehand.
