Ephesians 2-8-9

It is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast.
—Ephesians 2:8-9

Thoughts on the Verse   
God gave us the greatest gift which has nothing to do with our efforts. It is a gift from God. We didn't earn it, deserve it or purchase it. God gave it through  sacrificing  his only  son Jesus Christ , so our salvation would not be our boast, but his kindness.
 
Prayer
Holy God, I can never thank you enough for sending Jesus and paying the debt for my sin. May I never presume on your grace. At the same time, Father, I want to live confidently, knowing that my salvation is not dependent on my mistakes but upon your grace. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
