The Grace and Works Companionship Explained

We ARE saved by GRACE, even after all we can do.

Below is scriptural evidence, that shows that we can only do good, through Christ’s grace, and that even as we do so, it still is never enough. Howbeit, it is still required for us to do so, and improve, as we repent, and become better through Christ, every day He gives us to live. And after having done so, the then often most misunderstood quote in the church, which says that, we are saved by grace, after all we can do, really only takes place at the judgement bar, with this scripture [D&C 45:3-5 see below]. Otherwise, without this understanding, many have thought that they had to earn the graces of God, before he would save them, which is simply not a true doctrine, and a very spiritually harmful false belief.

Doctrine & Covenants 45:3-5 reads:

3 Listen to him who is the advocate with the Father, who is pleading your cause before him—

4 Saying: Father, behold the sufferings and death of him who did no sin, in whom thou wast well pleased; behold the blood of thy Son which was shed, the blood of him whom thou gavest that thyself might be glorified;

5 Wherefore, Father, spare these my brethren that believe on my name, that they may come unto me and have everlasting life.

Such beautiful scripture. I’m glad I highlighted it in my notes.
