Text: Ephesians 2:1-10

Main Idea: God is gracious, so we do not have to prove ourselves.

  • Genesis 3:7-13
  1. The Truth about God: God is gracious! (Ephesians 2:1-9)
    • Ephesians 1:3-8
  2. The Implication for us: We don't have to prove ourselves.
    • 1 John 1:9
    • 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
  3. The Response to the truth: faith and repentance.
    • Ephesians 2:10

Discussion Questions: What does it mean that we are saved by grace through faith? Are there any recent evidences of a lack of faith in God's grace in your life? In what ways do you work to be "vindicated" or shown to be "right?" How have you struggled to believe that God is gracious? At the heart level, do you truly see God as gracious, or do you try to prove yourself to God, others, or yourself? How can you take one step from unbelief to belief today? What does it look like for you to repent and believe the truth that God is gracious? With whom could you talk about these struggles?
