Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches that salvation comes by grace through faith, not from ourselves and not as a result of works, so that no one can boast. An Ephesians 2:8-9 coloring page gives children and adults a creative way to read, remember, and reflect on this Scripture.
The verse can be used in Bible study, Sunday school, lesson plans, learning resources, devotional activities, or personal Scripture memorization. Coloring the words and illustrations can help learners focus on the message that salvation is the gift of God.
Ephesians 2:8-9 Scripture
“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, that no one should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one can boast.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.
Meaning of Ephesians 2:8-9
“Although “we were dead in our trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1), God made us alive with Christ through His resurrection. (Ephesians 2:5)

Connection with the Resurrection
Happy Resurrection Day! In honor of the occasion, I’m sharing this Nailed to a Cross coloring page.
It’s a fitting reminder of all that Jesus endured on our account. He suffered and bled and died for my sins and yours.
When his followers wrapped His lifeless body in linen and laid it in a tomb late Friday afternoon, their hearts were heavy with grief. But, praise the Lord, Jesus didn’t stay dead.
By dawn of the third day, Christ had triumphed over death and risen from the grave. And He has invited us to walk in new life alongside Him.
Although “we were dead in our trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1), God made us alive with Christ through His resurrection. (Ephesians 2:5)
