Notes

Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works: Good works are the results of salvation. Good works do not cause salvation. God’s Spirit, working through a transformed heart, produces a good life (Galatians 5:22–23).

Ephesians 2:4–10

By God's mercy, kindness, and love, those united with Jesus Christ are saved from the terrible consequences of their sin and enjoy the benefits of Christ's resurrection.
