Not Works But A Gift - Ephesians 2: 8

Beloved,

The imputation of faith, the declaration of the sinner as one of God’s elect, the pardoning of sin and the bestowing of righteousness that is alien to the natural man are all included in Paul’s next clarifying remark, “…And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,” Paul’s words here are straight forward yet again and offered without hesitation; the sinner does nothing to promote or contribute toward his salvation. The grace that has been extended to him and the faith that has been granted to him are all the active goodness of God and are not warranted by anything within the sinner himself. In 2 Corinthians 3: 5 Paul comments on this gift by saying, “Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,” It seems quite clear that the remedy for the natural man’s lostness only comes to him as the result of God’s mercy and benevolence. Unfortunately, to suggest anything else misses the aim of Scripture’s teaching.
