Ephesians 2: 8-10 Salvation by Grace by MVBC

Dr. Bern Zumpano continues the series on defending the Christian faith against cults by analyzing Mormonism. Previously, core doctrines—regarding God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit—were examined. In this session, the focus shifts to three additional doctrines: Original Sin, Salvation, and Atonement, concluding with the claim of biblical corruption put forth by the Mormon Church. Original Sin Mormonism teaches that Adam's sin was a necessary and beneficial part of God's plan. Dr. Bern Zumpano rejects this, referencing Romans 5 to argue that sin brought condemnation and death, not blessing. Genesis 1 establishes that God's covenant with humanity was already fulfilled before the fall, undermining the Mormon claim that Adam's sin was required. Salvation by Works The Mormon doctrine emphasizes obedience to church rituals for salvation. Dr. Bern Zumpano counters this with Ephesians 2:8–9, affirming that salvation comes by grace through faith—not by human effort or institutional compliance. Salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone, not any organization. Atonement Mormon teaching suggests that Christ's atonement benefits all people, regardless of belief, and needs to be supplemented by church rites. Dr. Bern Zumpano refutes this, citing John 3:36, 1 John 5:11–12, and Hebrews 9–10, which affirm that eternal life comes only through personal faith in Christ and the sufficiency of His sacrificial work. Claims that human actions contribute to atonement undermine the “finished” work of the cross and dishonor the Spirit of grace. Corruption of the Bible The Mormon Church asserts that the Bible has been corrupted, missing “plain and precious parts,” and is incomplete. Dr. Bern Zumpano rebuts this with scriptural affirmations of the Bible's sufficiency, permanence, and authority—citing John 17:17 (“Thy word is truth”), 2 Peter 1:21 (“living and abiding word of God”), and Ephesians 2:8–9 as a succinct statement of the complete gospel. Conclusion: Through seven core doctrines—three previously covered and four in this session—Dr. Bern Zumpano demonstrates, using Scripture, that Mormon teachings diverge fundamentally from biblical truth. He emphasizes that false doctrine equates to another gospel, warns of spiritual deception, and underscores the urgency of defending the faith with truth rooted in God's Word alone. The session concludes with a call to continue in the next segment to further uphold biblical integrity.

Salvation by Grace Alone

Pastor Jim explores the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5, highlighting how God's mercy extends to even those perceived as outsiders or enemies. Through the humility of a young servant girl and Naaman's eventual surrender, we see that salvation comes not through power, wealth, or status, but through simple, obedient faith. Jim challenges listeners to lay down self-reliance and pride, receive God's free gift of grace, and become conduits of mercy, even toward those we consider enemies.

What is your world view? How do you interpret and make sense of how the world operates? How do you look at life and circumstances that come your way? We all have one – a perspective about the world – a world view. But what is the world view of the Bible believing Christian? How does a vital connection with the God of heaven influence our assessment of and interaction with the world around us?

n this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve deep into Colossians 1:13-14, unpacking the Apostle Paul's rich theological message about being rescued from the domain of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of Christ. The discussion centers on the transformative power of God's grace, emphasizing the joy and beauty of redemption, forgiveness, and union with Christ. Through Christ alone, believers are qualified to share in the inheritance of the saints, receiving full access to the privileges of being children of God. Tony and Jesse explore the covenantal implications of the passage, showing how salvation is not based on human effort or merit but entirely on God's initiative. The conversation highlights the sufficiency of Christ in salvation, contrasting the gospel's message with works-based systems of theology. They also discuss how this passage reflects the broader themes of Pauline theology, including union with Christ, sanctification, and glorification. The hosts encourage listeners to embrace the good news of the gospel, reminding them that salvation is a gift received through Christ alone. They urge anyone who has not yet trusted in Christ to consider the beauty of being transferred into the kingdom of light. This episode is a theological feast, offering both encouragement and practical insights for living out the gospel. Key Points: Rescue and Redemption in Christ: Believers are delivered from the domain of darkness and transferred into the kingdom of God's beloved Son, emphasizing God's initiative in salvation. Union with Christ: Salvation is not merely transactional but relational, as believers are united with Christ and share in His inheritance. Covenantal Theology: The passage underscores the covenantal framework of Scripture, showing how believers are brought into a new covenantal relationship through Christ. The Sufficiency of Christ: The episode highlights Christ's sufficiency in salvation, rejecting works-based systems and affirming that salvation is entirely a gift of grace. Questions for Reflection: How does understanding that salvation is entirely God's initiative impact your walk with Christ? What does it mean to you personally to be transferred from the domain of darkness into the kingdom of light? How does the concept of union with Christ shape your understanding of your identity as a believer?

It is not only in the New Testament's proclamation of the gospel that we hear about man's need and God's remedy. It is also found in the beloved book of Psalms. Today we will be looking at the 6 short verses of Psalm 53 and find there seven important truths about the subject of sin and God's attitude toward it. It will not be a pretty picture of mankind, but it's an important one to face up to if we are ever going to have our sins forgiven.  We're all in the same boat - we're all sinners who need our sins forgiven. Like multitudes before you, look to Christ who bled and died to bring sinners back to God.

The doctrine of Sola Gratia, or salvation by grace alone, is a central truth of the Gospel. Scripture is clear that we cannot earn forgiveness by our works, but only through the free gift of God's grace made available to use through faith in Christ. Listen to this sermon on Ephesians 2:1-10 as we consider the universal need for grace, the unearned gift of grace, and the ultimate result of grace.Ephesians 2:1-10And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 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— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.✉️ Subscribe to the Newsletter

Outside of Christ, all of humanity is dead in trespasses and sins. Though our flesh seeks to earn salvation through our works, Scripture is clear that it is only available as a free gift of God's grace. Learn about the importance of the doctrine of sola gratia — salvation by grace alone — in this sermon on Ephesians 2:1-10. This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN. For more information, visit LegacyRBC.org.

In Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul wrote, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” Some Christians say these verses prove that practices such as baptism cannot be necessary for salvation because they are “works."
