📖 Ephesians 2:1–10 · 📜 Series: Standing Firm: Truths Worth Reforming For
Show Summary
In this episode, Dave Jenkins unfolds the Reformation truth of Sola Gratia — Grace Alone from
Ephesians 2:1–10. We were dead in sin, but God, rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ. Salvation is
entirely a gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Grace humbles our pride, gives assurance,
fuels worship, and produces a life of obedience and good works prepared by God.

Key Points
- Our Desperate Need for Grace (Eph. 2:1–3): not sick or merely weak, but spiritually dead.
- God’s Rich Mercy and Love (Eph. 2:4–7): “But God” — He makes us alive with Christ.
- Gift, Not a Work (Eph. 2:8–9): salvation and faith are gifts of grace, so no one may boast.
- Grace Produces Good Works (Eph. 2:10): we are His workmanship, saved for good works.
Scripture
Ephesians 2:1–10 (ESV)
Pastoral Application
- Grace humbles pride: salvation rests on what God has done, not what we do.
- Grace gives assurance: if salvation is by grace, we are secure in Christ.
- Grace fuels worship & obedience: we serve from gratitude, not to earn favor.
