Notice the prepositions: by, through, and with. The Book of Ephesians uses all three to describe what is involved with our salvation. It teaches we are saved by grace. It teaches we are saved through faith. It teaches we are saved with the washing of water by the word. It is not grace alone, else faith and washing of water would not be required. It is not faith alone, else grace and washing of water would not be involved. It is not by washing of water alone, else grace and faith would not be involved. But, it is all three involved together.
By Grace

Do you ever despair? The author of Psalms 42 and 43 could relate. He asked himself three times, “Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me?” (42:5, 11; 43:5).
The psalmist was a refugee. He’d been forced to leave Jerusalem and dwell among people who didn’t know the true and living God. “My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all day long, ‘Where is your God?’” (42:3). The longer he sojourned, the deeper he despaired. “As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries revile…

Though forms of the word baptism occur more than 100 times in the New Testament, most people are not convinced of its importance. They do not see it as a vital element in man's obedience to God. In fact, the majority of people would tell you that baptism has nothing whatsoever to do with salvation. But what does the Bible teach? Consider with me a few questions and biblical answers related to baptism.
Can we reject the stated desire of the One possessing all authority and still be saved? "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given…

Acts 4 introduces us to a well-known Bible character named Joses. Of course, few today know him by the name Joses, for the apostles changed his name to Barnabas, i.e. Son of Encouragement (Acts 4:36, 37). The first time he is mentioned he had sold land to help the poor among the saints in Jerusalem, but his encouraging spirit is also seen in his befriending of Saul (Acts 9:26, 27), his selection by the church at Jerusalem as the best man to go strengthen the young church in Antioch (Acts 11:22, 23), and in his unwillingness to give up on…
