📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Ephesians from prison in Rome, addressing a church made up of both Jewish and Gentile believers who were navigating their new identity in Christ. In Ephesians chapter 2, Paul emphasizes that salvation comes purely by God's grace through faith, not by human effort, as he shifts from describing spiritual death to new life in Christ. He then highlights in verse 10 that believers are God's intentional creation, designed for good works that God had planned in advance as part of this redeemed life.
