Receive Grace

01 — READ

Ephesians 2:8–10

Read Ephesians 2:8–10. Look for the order in the passage: grace, salvation, new life, and good works.

02 — UNDERSTAND

The order is not obedience, worthiness, then salvation. It is grace, salvation, new life, then obedience.

Good works do not purchase God’s welcome. They are the fruit of the new life God gives in Christ.

03 — REFLECT

Be honest before God.

• Where am I trying to earn what God gives by grace?
• How could receiving grace change the way I obey today?

Keep your answers private. Speak to God or write in a notebook.

04 — PRAY

Speak honestly to God.

Use these words as a starting place, not as a formula.

Father, thank You that salvation is Your gift through Jesus Christ. Deliver me from trying to earn Your welcome. Form new life in me, and let obedience grow from grateful trust. Amen.

05 — RESPOND

Practice one faithful step.

• Thank God for one gift of grace you did not earn.
• Do one good work today—not to prove yourself, but as a grateful response to Jesus.
