"...Saved By Grace Through Faith..."

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

Most people think we have to do a whole lot of "stuff" to be "saved..." But the Word of God says we are saved by grace (a FREE gift from God)... through faith.

Grace is 'undeserved favor' and Faith is 'believing in what we hope for, even though we cannot see it.' I think of it as "believing what the Word says instead of my lying eyes and ears..."

Most of what we see with our eyes, and hear with our ears is in direct contradiction to what the Word of God has told us. This is how and why the Holy Spirit is at war constantly within our flesh. And during these times of testing, the question is always; Do you believe God... or your lyin' eyes???

Acts 16:31 says "believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you WILL be saved!"

And we can be anywhere to do that; At home, in the bathroom, in a club, at work, in the car, in church, walking down the street, in a crowd of people or all alone... ANYWHERE!!!
Hallelujah!!!

So we have no reason, right or authority to brag about the fact that we are saved. If indeed we are. Because it is only by the grace of God that we are.
