How does Christ's sacrifice affect our good works?

Christ's sacrifice is the foundation upon which our good works should be built. According to the sermon, it is not just the desire to do good that we cultivate but that Christ, through His redemptive work, instills a zeal for good works in us. This indicates that any genuine good works stem from His grace and not from our efforts. As believers, our focus should be on Christ's work and allowing that to manifest in our lives, revealing the outflow of gratitude and love towards Him, which results in our service to others.
