Revisiting Grace – Ephesians 2:8-9

Remember our Mindful Monday’s scripture for this week is Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.” So what does that really mean? “For by grace” – By myself?
