Discuss Ephesians 2 Page 24

Ephesians 2:8-9 By faith we are saved, not by works lest any man should boast. But faith without works changed behavior that reflects Gods love for others , is dead. If there was anything man could DO to add to his " saving" then Jesus would need not have died. So the point is, faith in Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection are what saves us and secures us as His, but if your life should show changes.

Matt 5:48 does not say to make a full effort to avoid sin, it is about loving those who hate you, read the pasage. However, Ephesians 2:8 tells us that we are saved through faith, Christ faith, and that not of yourselves.

EPHESIANS: PAUL: wrote this short Epistle, with 3-others:PHILIPPIANS: COLOSSIANS: PHILEMON: during his imprisonment: emphasis: unity of both: JEWS

Eph. 2:14: When Our Lord died on Calvary’s Cross, the Veil of the Temple was Torn in Two. From the top to the bottom! Now we can go Straight to God? We do not have to go through an earthly Priest anymore? Our Lord JESUS CHRIST is Our HIGH PRIEST! That veil of Partition is removed for ever. We now have only ONE HIGH PRIEST! HE ALONE CAN FORGIVE SINS! NO OTHER: WHETHER IN HEAVEN OR HERE ON EARTH!

Verse 2~The spirit that we see in the world is a spirit of disobedience and rebellion against Jehovah God and his standards.

The blood is the cross Jesus amen! Daily struggles for all who live in this world not of this world understand this. I pray for all people to know the Lord and to live of his word minute by minute hour by hour day by day! Give him all the glory for he shed the blood on that cross for all of our sins and to give us health peace Joy! Do not boast of what you do yourself for it is our heavenly father

Our Bodies are Amazing. The Lord has Installed Many Safeguards in Our Lives and Bodies. Sickness, Infections, Diseases, Injuries, Problems Our Body Handles Automatically. Sometimes We Need to See a Doctor. Faith is Surely Needed for Salvation( Ephesians 2:8) Faith that The Blood of The Lamb Ceanses Us of All Sin ( Hebrews 9:12)

This chapter reflects the very character of God - Holy, Loving, and Perfect. We Thank God for The Cross and The BLOOD.

JEW AND GENTILES WERE BOTH AN OFFENCE TO GOD HE FOUND FAULT WITH ALL OF HUMANAITY BUT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD ETC ALL OF HIS DISCIPLES WERE JEWS BUT THEY ALL HAD TO BE BORNAGAIN OF AN INCORRUPTIBLE SEED ETC THATS THE REMEDY FOR ALL OF HUMANITY BEING BORNAGAIN OF AN INCORRUPTIBLE SEED ETC THATS Y THE SCRIPTURE IS SAYING HE TOOK OF THE TWAIN AND MADE 1 NEWMAN WHICH IS THE H,G TH PROMISE OUR NEW MAN .

How many time of the day we come up short. In the way we re act

A Disciple, The Lord takes pleasure in your righteousness as long as the Lord is your righteousness. The Lord doesn't take pleasure in your good works if you think those works save you. "For by grace are ye saved through Faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God, not of works,(your own righteous ability to do good and be good) lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

I love this scripture 2 v 15 KJV, so much fighting about Jew or Gentile WHEN JESUS TOLD NIC. A JEW HE HAD TO BE BORNAGAIN, WE ALL MUST BE BORNAGAIN TO BIRTH THAT NEW CREATURE WHICH IS THE H.G. OUR NEW INNERMAN WHICH IS CHRIST IN US THE SON OF MAN MANKINDS FRUIT UNTO GOD VIA THAT HEAVENLY SEED WE ALL CARRY THAT STAIN AND SPOT OF ADAM FROM OUR NATURAL BIRTH THUS WE ALL MUST BE BORNAGAIN . TY JESUS.

We are the work of Jehovah God's hands and we must walk in his ways in order to benefit fully.

We are his workmanship created in Jesus Christ unto his good works which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them thanks to the blood of Jesus i love you Abba Father my Jehovah my Rock and my Salvation Shalom

Avery powerful message in this text. I like the way it reiterates the fact that we are created by God. In a sense that lets us know that he is proud of hi creation. Also that we should proud of what God has created, not only in ourselves, but in every creature. We should also be excited about following his instructions, so that we wind uo where he has ordained us to be.

Saved by grace.Jehovah saves us from sooo many things

Disciple you do greatly err read Eph 2 v 15 -17 HE TOOK OF THE TWAIN (JEW AND GENTILE ) and made 1 NEW MAN which is the Promise seed FROM TH living WORD planted in our hearts initiating a birth of Christ in us,THAT NEWMAN/H.G.,THATS Y THERE IS NO JEW OR GENTILE IN CHRIST JESUS,NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, JEW OR GENTILE BUT A NEW CREATURE ,THUS JEW OR GENTILE WE MUST BE BORNAGAIN SMH

We are saved by Grace through faith, and it is not of ourselves, so none of us can boast
Salvation is found only in Christ the author and finisher of our faith. And we are created in Christ unto good works, so let your lights so brightly shine among men that they may see your good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Christ, then us in Christ who is the good tree that only bares good fruit.

"Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh...That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:" Gentile Believers DO NOT replace Israel, but are joined by faith in Christ. Now it is upon us to have mercy on unbelievers like God had mercy on us.

Brian,Redeemed, a disciple. Ephesians 2:8-9 I am sure you all know it along the Romans road. I am so blessed to not be wrapped up in looking for argumentative dialogue of Gods word. The salvation thru Christ is free to anyone that believes on Christ and what he did on the cross. It is simply up to each person to accept or deny Christ. He is risen,rejoice and share the gospel

A disciple: Matthew 7:26 is not to the church, it is to the nation of Israel. Matthew knows nothing about the gentile church age nor does he have a clue about the gospel of grace.
The people in Revelation 20:13 are judged by their own righteousness.

Ephesians 2:8 grace are ye saved through faith not of yourselves 9 Not of works

1 Corinthians 14:33 God is not the author of confusion

2 Tim 2:15

Stephende...i hope you see this soon...Jesus did abolished the Law..he fulfilled it then when he was crucified he abolished it... Ephesians 2:15..hope this helps you...we r free!!!!!

Dear Vicki; I have to address part of what you wrote. You said, "..That may RESULT in changed behavior but it s not changed behavior that saves. See Ephesians 2:8-9." But you have to complete the sentence! "..For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." If we don't show a good result and proof of Grace, we perish!

Verse 4: Jehovah God has an abundance of mercy. We should show our appreciation and thank God for this wonderful quality that he displays.

Son of David, would you by chance be Catholic? I know they don t believe we can know we re saved until we die and that is false and directly contradicts Scripture. See 1 John 5:13. Salvation is a gift, we do not earn it by how we live. We receive it as a gift by faith in Christ. That may RESULT in changed behavior but it s not changed behavior that saves. See Ephesians 2:8-9.

YES, servant! as it is written; "Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?" John 10:32; and "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10. Also: Matthew 5:16; 1 Timothy 5:10,25; 6:18; Titus 1:16; 3:8,14; Hebrews 10:24; 2 Timothy 3:17; James 3:13; etc.

The world is wicked as it ever was. There are lots of evils that our Lord hates that are lauded today -- 'gay pride', abortion, pride in general, hatred of God, disobedience to parents, music and movies and games with evil themes. We must resist the spirit of this world, and prepare ourselves for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, He is coming very shortly to judge the living and the dead.

We are indeed not under the law, but the law of Christ and the Gospel of Grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 make that clear. However, remember Hebrews: Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. God has not changed how he feels about the sins listed here or elsewhere in the Law. He has only changed the way he deals with the sin. Thank God for GRACE! And the shed blood of Jesus our Lord!

Vs. 1....Praise Jesus ! He has quickened me ,, and raised me up from a corrupt, wretched, dead body of hopelessness, and sin ! I am saved, not by my own doing , but through His marvelous grace and mercy. I was dead, but now I live forever to be with Him. "Now THIS is life eternal, that I may KNOW Him, the ONLY true God and Jesus Christ."

We and the saints all have access by the Spirit unto the Father without discrimination. We are no more strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens. We are building materials laid upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets while Jesus Christ is the chief corner stone. We are fitly framed together to make an holy temple in the Lord and an habitation of God through the Spirit. (Ephes 2: 18-22)
