The Gift of Faith| Looking For A Sign
Ephesians 2:8 & 9… it’s impact on me, Tony Boos, and it’s similarity to the 1950’s Disney movie Sleeping Beauty
The Curse
The rescue plan
1. God saves us by grace through faith in Christ (v. 8)
Grace is unmerited favor. Grace is what we’re saved by.
Faith is the instrument of salvation. Faith is like the channel that grace goes through.
By Grace, Through Faith … It is God’s Gift
2. God saves us by Jesus’ work, not ours (v. 9)
We ARE saved by works, but not our own! By Jesus’ work ONLY. We can’t boast in ourselves for something another accomplished.
Sleeping Beauty is a fairy tale with a happy ending. Christianity is the true tale of God reversing sin’s curse and gifting a happy ending by grace through faith in Jesus.
