What is your favorite scripture verse?

Ephesians 2: 4-9

4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Why is this verse your favorite?

These verses remind me of God’s great unchanging love and grace. His love for me has everything to do with Him and nothing to do with me or my works. It challenges me to serve Him obediently in the work He has set before me so I can prove my love and appreciation to Him for all He has done.
