Faith in Christ is the mechanism through which he extends his grace to us. Works in the Bible: Ephesians 2:8-10 http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%202:8-10&version=NIV 2009-08-21T09:22:09-05:00 Good works are an important part of following Christ--they are tangible outgrowths of our faith. But good works by themselves are not enough to save us; salvation must come through faith. This passage forms the basis of the belief that we are "saved by grace alone, through faith."
