这段经文有助于我们理解有关救恩的一些非常重要的事。

我们得救，是单单因着神的恩典，即祂在基督里所成就的工，而不是因我们自己所作的努力。我们因信得着这奇妙的救恩。而且，我们得救不是因为信的理由，乃是藉着信。

关于救恩，我们要强调三个相关真理：第一，救恩的原因是：恩典。第二，它的途径是：信心。第三，它的结果是：行善。我们藉着信心蒙恩得救，为要行善。

我们得救不是靠我们为神所做的任何工作，而是靠基督在十字架上舍命以及祂的复活为我们所做成的工作。我们行善，并不是要蒙神的悦纳，乃是因为我们蒙恩得救了。善行不是得救的原因，它乃是救恩的结果。我们得救了，是要践行神为我们所预备的善事。神的灵会加给我们力量去做这些事。

恩典、信心和善行宛如一个三角形，彰显我们的救恩。这三件事都是神亲自成就的，因为恩典、信心和善行都是神在我们身上所作的工。

This passage helps us to understand some very important things about salvation.

We are saved only by God's grace to us in the finished work of Christ, not through any works of our own. And we receive this wonderful salvation through faith. Also, we are not saved because of faith, but through faith.

Three truths can be highlighted about salvation: first, its cause: grace. Second, its instrument: faith. Third, its consequence: good works. We are saved by grace through faith in order to do good works.

We are not saved by any work we do for God, but by the work Christ did for us on the cross and through his resurrection. And we do good works not to be accepted by God but because we are saved through grace. Good works are not the cause of salvation; they are the result of salvation. We have been saved to do good works that God has prepared for us to do. And the Spirit of God empowers us to do them.

Grace, faith, and good works are like a tripod that illustrates our salvation. All three are accomplished by God himself, for grace, faith, and good works are God's operations in us and for us.
