Aim: To be thankfully astonished at salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
Doctrine: The uniqueness of saving grace sets the church apart, to the amazement of angels and the wonder of authorities.
Exegesis: The remarkable spectacle God makes of His redeemed church: we receive a salvation (v. 8a), graces (v. 8b), and humility (v. 9) that no one else has.
Further application: The church's responsibilities—in light of her privileges: we are to express God's greatness in what we do, and mirror God's grace to everything He created.
Key verses: vv. 8-9 ''For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.''
