Ephesians 2:11-3:23
Ephesians is filled with praise for God who is at work in Jesus Christ to put in place a plan for salvation. God destined us (the Church) for adoption as children through Jesus Christ. Though we were dead because of sins, God has chosen to save us by grace through faith as a gift. Because salvation is a gift, no one can boast of being saved by works. But those who are saved are created for good works.
