Why is grace important for maintaining good works?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is crucial for maintaining good works because it empowers believers to act according to God's will, as expressed in Titus 2:14.

Grace is not merely the initial means of salvation; it is also the sustaining power that enables believers to conduct themselves in good works. In Titus 2:14, Paul declares that Christ gave Himself to redeem and purify a people zealous for good works. This means that it is through understanding and experiencing grace that believers are motivated to live righteously and lovingly. Without grace, any attempt at good works would be rooted in human effort and thus fall short of God's standard. God's grace transforms our hearts, leading us to desire and pursue good works as expressions of our gratitude for what He has done in our lives.
