This must be the most missapplied passage in all the Bible.
Paul is not telling the Eph that they do not have to obey God.
He is telling them nothing they did deserved their salvation.
Not one person here is so righteous that GOd sent His son to die for them.
He is trying to humble them, so they do not think they so righteous they deserved the gift of God.
"works" is not obedience. Works are good deeds, not the DUTY of obedience - Lk 17:10.
John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

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.
