Grace Shown in Community - Anabaptist (Ephesians 2:8-9)

Early Anabaptists challenged: if we're saved by grace, what does that look like? They pointed to the verses following: "created for good works." Grace saves; grace transforms; grace creates a new community. Menno Simons said true faith inevitably produces new life together. You can't claim grace and live unchanged. The Anabaptist witness: grace creates communities of mutual aid, enemy love, simple living. Ephesians 2:8-9 isn't license; it's liberation—free to live as Jesus lived because we're no longer striving to earn.
