Why is grace emphasized in the context of good works?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is emphasized because it empowers believers to perform good works as a response to God’s mercy (Titus 3:5-6).

The role of grace is central in understanding good works within the framework of the Christian faith. In Titus 3:5-6, Paul clarifies that salvation is not based on our works but according to God's mercy. This mercy serves as the foundation for all good works, as they arise from a heart transformed by grace. When believers comprehend that their standing before God is secured solely by grace, they are motivated to express that gratitude through good works. Thus, grace is not merely a doctrine of unmerited favor; it is the driving force behind a believer's desire to actively live out their faith in practical ways, honoring God in every aspect of their lives.
