Eph 2:10.
Eph 2:10.
Again...context is key.
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them
There is no 'mix' in the text of saved by faith AND works.
Ephesians 2:
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 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. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
The bolded portion is your focus. Understand. However, the key words are "created in Christ Jesus for good works." Also "which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." See the distinction from your other posts on the matter? The works themselves are of God from God not us. Christ is the the true Vine and the fruit of the Vine (good works) comes from the vine not the fruit itself or fruit bearer.
Thus, John 15:
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
