Though the grace that we have been given is not dependent upon our works, we are created for good works. This shows that this passage does not contradict James when he says that faith without works is dead: the two go hand in hand. When Paul is talking about grace through faith, the faith itself is a gift from God so that no one may boast. God not only makes us alive in Christ, but then proceeds to elevate us and seat us in the heavenly places. I love the use of + and - that Paul uses, it reminds me that we can learn a lot about God's character by learning about what he is not.

Ephesians

Ephesians 2:1-10

NT

esv

And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked,

following the course of this world,

following the prince of the power of the air,

the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience--

ideaexplanation

among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh,

carrying out the desires of the body and the mind,

actionmanner

series

and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

bilateral

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

even when we were dead in our trespasses,

made us alive together with Christ--

negativepositive

by grace you have been saved--

inference

and raised us up with him

and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

progression

so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace

in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

actionpurpose

For by grace you have been saved

through faith.

And this is not your own doing;

it is the gift of God,

not a result of works,

so that no one may boast.

For we are his workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus

for good works,

which God prepared beforehand, (locative in the sense of time)

that we should walk in them.
