Salvation By Grace Through Faith Eph 2:1-9 Dead, Now Alive Perhaps most widely quoted verse Certainly most misunderstood Must not let beauty be lost Attempts to twist it salvation wholly by grace salvation by faith only man is totally passive faith is a gift of God to the elect all works are excluded
