But not because works "earn" us anything. It is that if we are God's people, the works will be there. God's people cannot help but do God's work. It is like an apple tree. An apple tree cannot produce grapes. Why? It is an apple tree. We are to strive to do good. We desire to do good. But those works don't earn us anything. The blood of Christ did that.
