I recently posted a blog on Grace vs. Works (https://graceforgrace.com/2008/02/19/do-you-believe-living-a-good-life-is-more-important-than-grace-or-less/).

I wanted to highlight a blog that answers this question very effectively.  I like this post because it not only answers the question, but other scriptures that have lead people to debate this topic.  Check out the blog here:
