WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS
Ephesians 2:8–9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
LEADER TAKEAWAY
Good works matter in the Christian life, but they are the result of salvation—not the price of it. Salvation is a gift of God’s grace received through faith, leaving no room for us to boast in our own goodness.
TRY SAYING
“Doing good things matters, but Ephesians makes a surprising distinction: good works don’t earn salvation. Salvation is a gift. How does that change the way you think about what it means to be made right with God?”
