The Gospel Of Grace

Ephesians 2:1-10 The past two weeks have given us opportunity to feast on the good news of God’s kingdom and the good news of the cross. Like a well cooked steak perfectly pairs together with a cup of fine wine, we’ve witnessed how Kingdom and Cross perfectly pair together. But what’s a good meal without the final course to make it complete—dessert. In our text God is inviting us to linger a little longer at His banqueting table so that we might devour the gospel dessert of grace. Our text is Ephesians 2:1-10—verses dripping with the good news that “by grace you have been saved.” Life with God under the rule of God is available now (Kingdom). And it’s available now because through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus we can be reconciled to God (Cross). And all of this is possible because of God’s grace—the good news that God accepts us, not because we have earned it or deserved it, but because God does so freely at Christ’s expense.
