Why do we emphasize grace and works in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is the means of salvation, while works show the fruit of genuine faith.

In Reformed theology, grace is the unmerited favor of God that saves us, while good works are the evidence of that faith. As per Ephesians 2:10, we are created for good works, which are prepared beforehand by God. Salivation entirely rests on God's grace, yet true faith will produce actions reflective of that saving grace. It’s important to understand that while faith alone saves, the faith that saves is never alone and must be evidenced by a transformed life characterized by good works.
