Ephesians chapter 1 reminds us we owe everything to God. At this very moment He is lavishing His grace on us. Grace is God’s lovingkindness. We need God’s grace because all of us are destined for destruction. In Ephesians 2 Paul demonstrates grace at work. God offers to rescue us from destruction. Take His offer and demonstrate His grace.
