What does the priesthood of believers imply about our works?

Answered in 1 source

The priesthood of believers implies that our works are a response to God's grace, not a means to gain favor.

As believers, our works stem from our identity as part of Christ's royal priesthood, where we serve as ministers of the Gospel. Ephesians 2:8-10 reminds us that while we are saved by grace through faith, our good works are God's handiwork intended for us to walk in. This distinguishes our works as responses to divine grace rather than contributions to our salvation. Thus, our ministry is rooted in gratitude and reflects the fruit of the Spirit, emphasizing that salvation is entirely by grace and cannot be earned.
