Ephesians 2:5; Ephesians 2:8-9

Ephesians 2:5

5 We were dead because of our failures, but he made us alive together with Christ. (It is God's kindness that saved you.)

Ephesians 2:8-9

8 God saved you through faith as an act of kindness. You had nothing to do with it. Being saved is a gift from God.

9 It's not the result of anything you've done, so no one can brag about it.
