Evidently some people had a false
opinion of how salvation worked. They felt they had some input needed. So St.
Paul writes this letter to set them straight about salvation. He says it is not
by their own effort at all. Not at all. It is a Gift of God. Not by any means depending
on their own efforts. No, indeed, It is a GIFT. Not of works, he writes, that
no one can boast.
“For by grace you have been saved
Through faith,
It is not your own doing,
It is a Gift of God,
Not the result of works,
So that no one may boast.”
Ephesians 2,8
GPD 11/29/15
