Eph 2:8 – What Does It Mean To Be Saved By Grace?
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.
Introduction
“For by grace ye are saved” (Eph. 2:5,8). If a person is saved, he is saved in only one way: by the marvelous, matchless grace of God!
What does this mean? What is GRACE? Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His undeserved kindness. Grace is God’s approval, God’s acceptance, God’s favor towards the sinner because of Jesus Christ. None of it is deserved. None of it is earned. The sinner does not merit it and cannot merit it. God has graciously and freely poured out His love and kindness toward the sinner who believes on His Son.

Eph 1:10 – Does this verse teach that all will be saved (universalism)?
Problem: The Apostle Paul wrote to the Colossians, “For it was the Father’s good pleasure … through Him [Christ] to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven” (Col. 1:19–20, nasb). If Paul says that all things are reconciled to Christ by His death and resurrection, this seems to imply that all people are saved. But other Scriptures declare that many will be lost (e.g., Matt. 7:13–14; 25:41; Rev. 20:11–15).
