One of the most awesome and exceptional truths that sets Christianity apart form all other religions is the grace of Christ.
Good works do not save anyone (Eph. 2:8-9; 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 3:5). However, this does not mean there is no place for works.
Good works will result from faith in God's saving grace. Even though these works will not save an individual, they will are used by God here on earth to bless others (James 2:14-26).
We are not saved by works, resulting in God's grace. But instead, Grace is the means by which we are saved and works are the result.

I think you have it right here. We are saved by God's grace. But as we work out our faith, we'll see good works, works that will further God's Kingdom.
