Salvation is a Work of Grace

8 For by unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem you have been delivered from Hashem's Din (Judgment) and granted a share in the Geulah (Redemption), through emunah; and this is not [an ainfal (intuitive idea)] of yourselves, it is a matnat Hashem (gift of G-d); 9 Not the result [of the zokheh (merit)] of doing Gezetz ma'asim [law works, Ac 15:1; Ga 5:3-4], so that before Hashem no man should be a ravrevan (boaster, braggart). [DEVARIM 9:5]

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. — Ephesians 2:8-9 | Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) and New International Version (NIV) Orthodox Jewish Bible Copyright © 2002, 2003, 2008, 2010, 2011 by Artists for Israel International and the Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV® Copyright ©1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

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.” Something I’ve seen recently is people trying to “be good enough to work their way into heaven” (aka they’re “on their own journey to get there”). Except, we can never be good enough. We’re always going to fall short. Romans 3:23-24 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." So what does this mean? If we can never be good enough to work our way into some sort of heaven, what do we do? Acts 4:12 says, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." “Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’“ -John 14:6 Jesus is the ONLY way. By His grace, we have been saved. Not only that, but salvation is a free gift (Romans 3:24)! God loves us so much that He won’t force us to do anything we don’t want to do. He gave us free will. Therefore, we can choose to love and be with Him, or we’re going to choose otherwise. Would it truly be love if we were forced to love and be with God? No! God truly loves us and wants us to choose to love Him. So what are you going to do now? There’s the best gift in the whole wide world sitting right in front of you. Are you going to choose to take it? "If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." -Romans 10:9-10

Better Than the Jelly of the Month: The Gift That Keeps on Giving!

It’s that time of year that we leave Christmas behind, isn’t it? Gifts have been unwrapped (and exchanged), gift cards have been redeemed, and we are putting away Christmas lights and decorations until next year… Here’s the thing: don’t stop celebrating the season when the season is over! Why Christmas? When you think about it, for many of us Christmas was all about giving and opening gifts! It…

Saved By His Grace (Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‭-‬9‬)

‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‭-‬9‬ ‭NLT‬ [8] God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. [9] Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

Eternal Assurance: Trusting in Christ Alone

Back in the early 90’s I faced a crisis as I held to a works-based salvation and constantly lived in fear of my eternal destiny. I had no assurance of my salvation because I never knew if I’d performed enough good works to validate my salvation. It was a terrible place to be. The solution came when I began to study the Scriptures carefully, stopped looking at myself, and fixed my “eyes on Jesus,…

Four Things

2 Corinthians 5:21 – Authorised Version For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 1. The Lord Jesus Christ, the true living God who knew no sin. 2. Was made sin for us. 3. That we MIGHT be made the righteousness of God 4. In Him Why “might” according to 3 above? Being made the righteousness of God is conditional upon…

Verse of the Day 12-2-22

For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 These two verses changed the world when a German monk/priest named Martin Luther read them and because of them began to question the practices of the Catholic Church. To be more precise than that these verses were one of the…

How Can I Be Sure I am Saved?

“How Can I Be Sure I am Saved.” Some time ago, a member of the church wrote to tell me that they were confused on the issues of works and salvation. The following is a copy of an e-mail correspondence that resulted. I wrote the e-mail to help clarify the issues of works versus grace and how they work together in the Christian life. It is a brief attempt for sure, but I thought it might be helpful…

For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 2 Thessalonians 3:10

Finally understand why this is such an important concept. Like, Paul wasn't talking about people being physically incapable of physical labor and stuff. But people are naturally hard-wired to feel like we need to earn our keep. With the notable exception of salvation, which cannot be earned no matter how much we do (Ephesians 2:8-9), it seems like God made us to want to feel like we earned all the good things we have.

Like, in a game, it's not much fun if you didn't have to work for the prize at the end, now is it? Like when I get a cool power-up from defeating an EMMI, or beating the final boss of any game and just being left in tears because I did it and I wasn't sure if I could do it. Even in just a slow, steady game like Stardew Valley, every harvest feels so good because it means I put in the time and patience to get that starfruit or melon.

Of course, real life makes different kinds of demands, but it's the same principle. Get up at 6 every morning to go spend 8 hours at a job I can't stand, whose "vision" and "mission" I do not share, but the paycheck at the end of two weeks is what funds my life. (And it's not a hard job, it's just that it goes from being tedious and boring to making me want to scream and throw my computer out a window, with no middle ground in between.) Wash my dishes to have something clean to eat on. Spend a couple hours making a pot of soup, but if (ha, if, because I'm not much of a cook) it comes out decent, I have a nice, hot dinner for less than the restaurant, and leftovers for lunch for a couple days. Spend time planning out the colors and composition of even a simple sketch, but when it's done, I can feel satisfied that I did a good job.

In everything I do, if I do a good job, I can feel like I really did reap the rewards.
