Walking in Good Works | Matt Beasley


Listen Later

Ephesians 2:8–10 — Saved by grace through faith, not by works — and yet created for good works. Lead Pastor Matt Beasley continues A Study Through Ephesians at Severns Valley.

Grace is undeserved mercy; faith is the humility with which we receive it. We're not saved by our works — but we are God's workmanship, created for good works He prepared beforehand, specific to each of us. The only "walk" Paul had named before this was our walk in deadness; now we're made to walk in good.

A few things to carry into your week:

- Grace is undeserved mercy; faith is the humble hands that receive the gift — neither is earned.
- You're His workmanship, with good works prepared specifically for you to walk in.
- We waste energy trying to make our "good works" line up with what we most enjoy — but there's real good for you to do.
- Your redeemed story — failures and all — is one only you can tell your neighbor.

"What good work has God prepared for you that no one else can do in quite your way?"
