Answer 3

This verse you are quoting from Ephesians is the thrust of true Christianity. The quick is that Jesus teaches that we cannot enter heaven by doing good works; works that we can be boastful about. Jesus died on the cross for our sins. He died so that we may go to heaven by accepting this and this is the only way to heaven. In the old testament, you would have to have an atonement for sins; a death or sacrifice of an animal. Jesus did this for all on the cross and that is grace; pure true grace.

The faith is a blind faith that Jesus did this; we weren't there. The faith is that Jesus will do what He said, and that God will be there always for us.

Answer 4

You are justified by faith and not of your works.

It means that you are saved by your faith only and there is nothing else that you can do to save yourself by any type of works or being a good person.
By your believe in Jesus, his blood cleansed you of all sin and that you are not under the 10 commandments but under his grace.
DO THE WILL OF GOD
You need to find a home church, be obedient, follow his word, be baptized with the holy spirit, show your self approved and do the will of God (Mark 16: 15 - 18)

Answer 5

It means that there is none saved by the works of the Law. That's from the same chapter in Romans the quote you showed came from; Romans 3.

There is no boasting, because the Law silenced everyone, there is no one who could do it. That's why we are saved by grace through faith. If we trust in the one who COULD do the Law, then we are counted by God as having performed it ourselves.

That's why we Christians say, " Glory to God". The boasting belongs to him.

Answer 6

I would say that it means that someone is saved because God saw fit to do it because of who God is, not who the saved person is. And also that the saved person must have faith that God can and has done this for them. And finally that everyone understand that there is nothing that the person has done to deserve this, that it is only because of God's nature and promise that it was done. That this person cannot tell anyone that they have more favor with God than anyone else.

Answer 7

It means that by not grace of our own, we are saved but by the grace of God we are saved, In the OT people were saved by the Law which required works as well but now we aren't saved by works, we are saved by the grace of God unless anyone should boast about the works they did. Works don't get us into heaven.

Answer 8

Being saved through the grace of God, means that we are saved by God's mercy, and by his divine forgiveness. In other words, we are saved even though we do not deserve to be. The salvation which we receive through the blood of Jesus, is something that no human being could ever accomplish by them self; because no blood could ever be shed that was pure enough to save our soul, except for the blood of Jesus Christ. And we must accept this great benefit by faith. For we cannot eye witness the shedding of Jesus' blood, for it was done over two-thousand years ago. There is nothing that any human being could ever be able to do, to receive salvation by themselves; regardless of how good that some may think that they are. Therefore, no human being ever has any right to brag about anything that they have done, to receive their salvation. All of the glory goes to Jesus Christ, and to Him alone.

Answer 9

It means that whatever you do, you cannot earn your way into heaven. It is a gift of God, and Grace that leads to heaven. To boast means in this context that no one should boast of their being saved by their works, as works do not have that effect.

Answer 10

Being saved by grace through faith means you can never be a "good enough" person to enter into heaven.

Answer 11

It means no one is any better than anyone else, because we are all saved by the grace of God through the blood of Jesus Christ. And anybody can have that if they want it.
