The Scriptures teach that we’re saved by grace through faith alone. It’s a gift of God and we have no place boasting. It doesn’t matter what we do or don’t do, our works will never enable us to enter the Kingdom. They will never make us right with God. It’s only through the shed blood of Jesus that we can be saved. But does that mean that works aren’t important? Certainly not! The Scriptures also teach us that faith without works is dead.
