Chapter 2:1-10
First, salvation is entirely dependent on the grace of God, not human efforts.
Second, this means all Christians are part of the same family, Jew and Gentile alike.
Ephesians 2:10 tells us why: "…God prepared [our good works] beforehand, so that we would walk in them." Any and every good work that we have done has been prepared by God. It has been ordained by His sovereign will. All true good works are God-planned, God-empowered, and God-superintended.
