GRACE PRODUCES WORKS

I would say the real basic question is Christian character. After all, the way we behave is an expression of our  character. First of all, I want to say that what we are, derives from grace. It all begins with God's grace, but grace always produces works. To say you have grace without works is to deceive yourself. Let's look at Ephesians 2:8,10;
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: It is the gift of GOD: Not of works lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship,  created in Christ JESUS ,unto good works, which GOD hath Before ordained that we should walk in them."
Paul was emphasizing here that we are saved by grace and not what we do. But faith doesn't stop there; that is not the end of grace. Paul goes on to say that though saved by grace, that grace produces good works. If we don,'t produce good works, we really don't have grace. = Derek Prince, (Renowned bible teacher)
