God’s grace is a gift—freely given and completely undeserved. In this guided meditation from Ephesians 2, we reflect on God’s unearned kindness, favor, and forgiveness that flows abundantly into our lives. God is grace.

Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-10 (NLT), reminds us that:

  • God, rich in mercy, loved us even when we were dead in our sins.
  • We are saved by His grace, not by anything we’ve done.
  • We are God’s masterpiece, created for the good works He prepared for us.

This meditation invites you to pause and reflect on how you’ve experienced God’s grace in your life. How has His unearned kindness, favor, and forgiveness shaped your story? And what does it mean that you are His masterpiece?

Take a moment to rest in this truth: Because of God’s grace, you are loved, you are redeemed, and you are created with purpose.

The entire meditation text is as follows:

Ephesians 2:4-5, 8-10, NLT

4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)

8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
