What does it mean to be saved by grace? Ephesians 2 says our problem is deeper than bad behavior, and salvation is something God does before it is something we do. In this message, Pastor J.R. explains that Ephesians 2:1–5 describes us as spiritually dead in our sin, unable to save ourselves through trying harder or becoming better people. Through the words “But God” (Ephesians 2:4), we see that God moved toward us first, making us alive through His mercy, love, and grace. Ephesians 2:8–9 reminds us that salvation is a gift, not a reward, and while grace is free to us, Jesus paid the price so we could receive His righteousness, mercy, and life. Pastor J.R. challenges us to stop trying to get our lives together before coming to Jesus and instead receive His grace, making today our “But God” moment.
