What is the relationship between faith and works in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

In salvation, faith is the means by which we receive God's grace, and good works are the result of that faith.

The relationship between faith and works is distinctly made clear in the narrative of the woman with the issue of blood. Her faith led her to take action—she pressed through the crowd to touch Jesus. This act illustrates that while we are saved by grace through faith, good works are the fruits of that salvation and not the means by which we attain it. Ephesians 2:10 highlights that we are 'His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works.' Thus, works follow as evidence of a faith transformed by grace rather than as a basis for salvation itself.
