Good point. Here are Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) “8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
I was reading Matthew 7:21 yesterday and noticed we have to do the will of our Father. Not even doing things “in the name of Jesus” is enough.

Excellent choice of scripture. I find it interesting that so many quote the prior 2 verses (Eph. 2:8-9) but always leave this one out.
Blessings!
