We come to Ephesians 2:1-10 today and find help and encouragement from Henry Law at Grace Gems:
Ephesians 2:8. “For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves—it is the gift of God.”
The verse before us is one of those plain declarations of God’s Word which no sophistry can gainsay. It is sad evidence of the determined infatuation and dreadful blindness of the natural mind, that after reading this faithful saying, difficulties should exist concerning the fundamental truths of our Gospel. Let us draw near to this text, and humbly enquire (1.) What is the originating cause of salvation? (2.) What is the instrumental cause? (3.) What part belongs to man—what part to God? Lord, give us to receive Your truth more deeply in the love of it, and may its sanctifying power more sweetly constrain us!
