You Have Been Saved

Ephesians 2:8-10

When you look at these verses there are three main ideas or phrases. You have been saved. It is the gift of God. We are His workmanship. From these three main points will come the following questions. These are not the only questions but the ones I feel will lead to an understanding of the passage and how we can apply it to ourselves and to the ministries of the churches where we serve.

What is the “that” in verse 8 referring to? Grace or Faith? Why?
What is the significance of a gift?
What is the significance of the gift being God’s?
What works do people do to get to heaven?
With salvation being a gift, how does that stop boasting?
Why would boasting in our salvation be a problem if we could earn our salvation?
In verse 10, what has God prepared beforehand?
Why “created for good works” when we are not saved by them?
What are some “good works” we are created for?
What is the significance of the "good works"?
