Ephesians 2:8-9New International Version (NIV)
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.
.
“.,.through faith...”
Grace cannot save, it can only give the opportunity to begin the process.
Only faith that endures to the end can give the opportunity for everlasting life that is made possible by the change of bodies at the last Trump.
Ephesians 2:8 credits Faith, not grace.
You try to read it “by faith we are saved by grace” but if grace could do the trick what happened to those Peter wrote of who after they tasted the things of the spirit returned like dogs to their own vomit?
The word opposes what you are trying to create.
