By Grace, Through Faith

God wants us to be alive – and on-mission! You were prepared for mission, and God has prepared mission for you. He is writing you into the story. Ephesians 2:10 says that “We are God’s workmanship, created for good works in Christ” – and the preceding verses tell us HOW this mission of good works is accomplished. It is not something we can ever do on our own, but it happens only by grace, through faith: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV).
