As Jesus simply put it...
Jesus said,
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Our "works" are simply an outpouring of obedience, and thanksgiving to God for our salvation. Our works are the evidence of what has already occured within us (our salvation), when we accept by faith the finished work of Jesus Christ which He alone accomplished for us on the cross.
Now, what more can we add to any of this, other than to show our eternal gra***ude for such a wonderful gift?
