According to Ephesians 2:8-9, how is the new life in Christ received, and what is its purpose?

  1. Through grace by faith, for good works ✓
  2. By observing the law, to receive blessings
  3. By human effort, to earn salvation
  4. Through knowledge, for enlightenment

Explanation

Paul teaches in Ephesians that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our own efforts. This new life is a gift from God that we cannot earn.

We are not saved by good works, but we are saved for good works. God created us to do good things, but those things do not earn our salvation.

Grace means God gives us what we do not deserve, and faith is simply trusting in Jesus.
