What happens if we mix grace with works for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Mixing grace with works for salvation undermines God's grace and leads to condemnation.

The mixing of grace with works results in a misunderstanding of the nature of salvation, which is entirely by grace through faith in Christ. Paul warns in Galatians 5:4 that those who seek justification through the law have fallen from grace. This reveals a fundamental error that not only negates the sufficiency of Christ’s work but also places the sinner back under the curse of the law. Salvation cannot be a blend of what Christ has done and our own efforts; true faith stands solely on Christ’s righteousness, ensuring that we are not justified by our works but redeemed by grace alone.
