To better understand this subject, we need to first understand what the grace of God is. Though it has a range of meanings, simply put, grace is unmerited favor from God. (For a more complete understanding, please read our article “What Is Grace?”) Grace is unmerited because there is nothing we can do to deserve or earn it. God is not obligated to ...
What did Jesus say about how to have eternal life? A person approached Jesus Christ and asked what he had to do in order to have eternal life. And Jesus’ answer was, “If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments” (Matthew 19:16-19). Yet no one but Jesus Christ has kept the 10 Commandments perfectly. The apostle Paul wrote that we all have ...
Works are simply actions that reflect what we think inside, what’s in our hearts. So works can be good, and works can be bad. When we think the way God thinks, good works should be apparent. But if we think contrary to God, that will be shown by bad works. Jesus Christ put it this way: “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the...
The apostle James taught that works are an important component of faith. In fact, works are a reflection of our faith. “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith, but does not have works? Can faith save him? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead . . . Show me your faith without your works, and I will sho...

Fruit is representative of good works. The amount of fruit—good works—will reflect our ded...
As we’ve seen, even though we are saved by grace, good works show God what is really in our hearts. Since works are simply the outward manifestation of what we think inside, both our words and our works are excellent indicators of how pure our hearts are (Matthew 12:33-37). It’s not grace or works, but rather grace and works. The Bible teaches that...
As we have seen, no amount of good we do can earn us eternal life; it is the giftof God. Since we all have sinned, we all have earned the death penalty. But because of God’s grace and our repentance and faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we are justified. Yet God expects good things from those He has extended His grace toward. Jesus Christ did...
Jun 19, 2018 · To put it differently, we are not saved BY good works, but FOR good works. Good works are an expression of the fact that we have been saved by grace. Salvation, as you might recall from our study of Ephesians 2:4-7, is not simply a ticket to heaven after death.
