Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV‬ [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast. [10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. https://bible.com/bible/59/eph.2.8-10.ESV One of the most influential set of verses of the entire bible for me, though it is all good. That's really hard to get this through a religious mind that we are save by grace and we must come and receive before we have anything to give back to him. A book that illustrated this best for me is called 'destined to reign', by Joseph Prince. Then God confirmed this over and over with a supernatural scent of his grace in my home. Story for another time.
