Read the following Bible verses several times:
Ecclesiastes 2:8-9
“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
Having read this verse several times, what is God saying to you?

Answer these questions:
- What is the connection between faith and salvation?
- Since salvation is a “gift” from God, not a result of our works, what is the connection between faith and the gift of salvation?
- Who do you know that is trying to earn their way to heaven by doing good works? How can you help that person know what the Bible says a person must do to be saved?
After answering these questions write or verbalize a personal prayer to God.
