GOSPEL NUGGET #19

Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

* Salvation is by grace, God's undeserved favor to those who deserve the very opposite.
* Salvation is received through faith, faith in the Savior and what He did on the cross.
* Salvation does not come from ourselves, it is of God. Salvation is of the Lord.
* Salvation is a gift from God. As a gift, it is free.
* Salvation is not the result of works. We don't earn salvation by working for it.
* Salvation results in the saved sinner glorifying and thanking God for his salvation, instead of looking at himself and what he has achieved.
