What is the relationship between grace and works according to the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

The sermon teaches that grace is unmerited favor from God, while works can lead to self-righteousness and judgment.

The relationship between grace and works in the context of the sermon highlights a significant biblical theme where reliance on works is seen as problematic. The passage in Genesis 6 illustrates a mixture of grace (the sons of God) and works (the daughters of men), suggesting that when humanity attempts to blend faith with their works, they fall into self-righteousness. The example of Uzzah underscores this, as his act of touching the ark, although seemingly innocent, was a work that led to judgment. This stark contrast illustrates the importance of understanding that grace alone saves, as stated in Ephesians 2:8, thereby teaching that true righteousness comes solely from God rather than any human effort.
