What is the relationship between faith and works in the Christian life?

Answered in 1 source

In Christianity, faith produces works as a natural outcome, but salvation is not based on our works.

Ephesians 2:8-10 clarifies that salvation is by grace through faith, which is not of ourselves but a gift from God. This grace leads to a transformation that results in good works, as we are His workmanship created in Christ for good deeds. Works do not contribute to our justification but are evidence of a faith that saves and transforms. True faith results in an obedient life, demonstrating the inward change God has wrought in the believer through the new birth.
