Gods grace sets us free to do what's right and to do Gods work.

Good works are not the basis for salvation but are the fruit of salvation.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

8 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

There is only one God, and there is only one way of being accepted by him. He makes people right with himself only by faith, whether they are Jews or Gentiles.

Well then, if we emphasize faith, does this mean that we can forget about the law? Of course not! In fact, only when we have faith do we truly fulfill the law.

there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

just as Abraham "believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."

And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God.

Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar?

5 Then the LORD brought Abram outside beneath the night sky and told him, "Look up into the heavens and count the stars if you can. Your descendants will be like that--too many to count!" 6 And Abram believed the LORD, and the LORD declared him righteous because of his faith.
