How does grace relate to our works as Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Grace compels Christians to good works, but these works do not earn salvation or reward.

In sovereign grace theology, the relationship between grace and works is crucial. Good works are not the means by which believers earn their salvation; rather, they are the evidence of the grace already bestowed upon them. As emphasized in the sermon and supported by Scripture (Ephesians 2:10), believers are created for good works that demonstrate their faith. These works spring from a heart transformed by grace, showing gratitude rather than a desire to earn rewards. Thus, while Christians are called to serve and do good, their standing before God remains rooted in their union with Christ, not in their performance.
