What is the relationship between works and salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

Believers are saved by grace alone, but good works are the natural outcome of that salvation.

The relationship between works and salvation is a central theme in Reformed theology. While salvation is solely based on faith in Christ and grace through faith, good works are the resultant evidence of true faith. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that salvation is not of works, yet verse 10 clarifies that believers are created for good works. Therefore, good works serve not as a means of achieving salvation but as a testimony to it.
