"9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it."

(That's from Ephesians 2:9, NLT)

What is Paul so concerned about here? What might people misunderstand about salvation?
What might you misunderstand about salvation?

Often times, people misunderstand good works. Some people may believe that good works, or doing good things, is their ticket to eternal life. Others may just think that good things will get God to notice them, or maybe grant them something in return. There are multiple ways to misunderstand doing good things, especially in relation to salvation. As a result, we can live our lives without the grace of Jesus Christ. And if we're missing that...we're missing life! Jesus paid a very high price for our salvation, and in that we have freedom!

Do you or have you ever struggled with this?

Why might God not want anyone to boast or brag about what they've done to earn or contribute to their salvation?

Check back tomorrow guys...
Enjoy your Tuesday!
