This is a reflection on Ephesians 2:8-9 and Ephesians 2:10 which is, too often, overlooked. Verse 10 reminds us that we are saved by grace into a God-given life of good works.

Ephesians 2: 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— 
9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 

Ephesians 2:10 For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.

The Way by Grace – Audio

The Way by Grace Lyrics

For by grace

We have been saved

Saved through faith, not by works

Not through anything we’ve done

So none may boast, It is the gift of God

For we are

What He has made us

Created in Christ Jesus

For the purpose of good works

Which God prepared to be our way of life

We were lost

Now we are saved

Into a life, of God’s good work

Being saved, is just the start

For God has work for us in God’s good world

Jesus came

That we might find

The way to live, life to the full

God’s good works, prepared by grace

To be our way of life, our life of faith
