Bible Note: Hello, Ephesians 2:8-9 "For but grace ye are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast." This is the reason sanctification and conversion are the most perverted doctrines. I have asked many many people what this means, and many of them have no idea. To say we are saved by grace does not mean we are free to break the law, it does not mean that we do not have to obey, it does not mean we just have to sit around and hope that we slide into heaven "safe" just under the wire, because what is stated in verse 10 gives us a great obligation, which is also a condition to the promise of being "saved" by grace. "We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. . ." Good works are essential to salvation. Jesus commission to His disciples "Go ye therefore". The bible is all about action, and to even say that "I'm 'saved' by grace" leaves a message in my mind that works are out of the question. I know we are saved by grace but what does that mean?
