Ephesians 2:7-9

7He wanted to show, for all future time, how very kind he is. He has helped us so much because of what Christ Jesus has done.

8When you believed in Jesus, God saved you because he is very kind. You could not save yourselves, but that is God's gift to you.

9He has not saved you as a result of any good things that you have done. So nobody has any reason to be proud about it.
