Summary of Ephesians 2:1-10

We were dead in our transgressions and sin, deserving of God’s wrath. In God’s love, grace, and mercy, He made us alive in Christ. By grace through faith in Jesus as a gift from God, we are made alive. God has prepared in advance the good works we are to do.

10a) Grace, mercy, and salvation leading to eternal life through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, on the cross, if we believe. I have responded with faith that God has given me in Jesus Christ’s salvation and given my life to Him.

b) God sent Jesus to pay the penalty (justice) for our sins. This was the ultimate show of mercy on God’s part so that we can be reconciled to Him forever. All we have to do is believe in Christ’s sacrifice for us.

11) The right response to God’s mercy is utter humility, to offer ourselves to God’s will for our lives as a living sacrifice, and confess our sins and our need for a Savior. We are to walk in God’s ways. I try to show mercy to everyone who slightly angers me and walk in the light, reflecting God’s character as I interact with others.

God’s love is so great for us that He made the ultimate sacrifice of His Son. This saves us from His just wrath against us.

We are alive in Christ through undeserved grace and mercy. Salvation is a gift from God that we should not boast in. We are God’s workmanship, His creation, with good works to do.

We were dead; now we are alive! All because of Christ and God’s plan for us!
