# **HOW YOU “ARE” SAVED…**

**CAUSE OF SALVATION…**

**Ephesians 2:8-9**

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.

**RESULT OF SALVATION…**

**Ephesians 2:10**

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

**Salvation by Works is a >>>FALSE TEACHING:<<<** Any doctrine that denies salvation by grace alone by teaching that eternal life is merited, earned, conditioned, or maintained through human effort, religious ritual, financial donations, obedience to laws/commandments, church membership, and/or moral behavior. **Salvation by Grace, the >>>BIBLICAL TEACHING:<<<** The doctrine and message of the Gospel that eternal life is not gained by or conditioned on works but is an undeserved and free gift from God received through faith in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior who died for our sins and rose from the dead. **Ephesians 2:8-9** 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. **GRACE IS "NOT" A LICENSE TO SIN!!!** **Romans 6:14-15** 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace?** >>>Certainly not!<<<**
