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
