We often confidently head in the wrong spiritual direction, unaware of our true condition. Ephesians 2:1-10 reveals that we are dead in our sins, unable to save ourselves due to our nature, worldly influence, and spiritual opposition. But God, rich in mercy and great love, made us alive with Christ. We are saved by grace through faith—not by our works—eliminating any grounds for boasting. As God's workmanship, we are created in Christ Jesus for good works prepared in advance for us to do. Understanding this grace transforms us and moves us to action.
