Galatians 3
Salvation is a gift from God. The struggle that Paul deals with in Ephesians 3 is that we want to make salvation about our efforts. Instead of receiving the gift of grace, we want to try to earn it by following the law or creating our own structure. It is simply not possible. Grace and salvation are a gift from God.

No matter how many times I read this and similar scripture about salvation through grace, I think there is still something in the back of my mind that says, "I've also got to be good enough." The old hymn "Amazing Grace" is always such a good reminder of God's most magnificent grace and love. A few years ago, one of my Bible study groups read the Yancy book on "What's So Amazing About God's Grace?" which required in-depth thinking and study about that grace. What a blessing!
