Ephesians 2.8-10 - The Perfect Gospel

Ephesians 2.8-10 - The Perfect Gospel

The perfect balance of the Gospel confirms it really is from God. Man tends toward extremes of legalism or fatalism. Legalism claims to be able to “do enough” to get right with God. Religious people everywhere, some very sincere, strive to gain merit with God. Fatalism, the other extreme, leads to hopelessness. If they believe in a God, He is too powerful and distant. God’s Gospel says there is NOTHING we can do to save ourselves, He must do it. But that the gift of salvation demands EVERYTHING we have to be given to him in grateful response for His gift.
