I don’t believe that we are saved by anything that we can do. I do think that we are judged by our works, while at the same time being 100% saved by grace. In the end, grace is all anyone can count on.

Grace=What saves me
Works=What helps me develop Christlike attributes so that I am able to recognize him when He comes

My brief two cents on the grace/works debate.

“Does this “doing something” save us? No.”

Hmmm. I don’t think that it is quite that simple. In many ways I think our efforts “doing” for others will contribute to saving us, by making us “Saviors on Mount Zion.”

I really liked your focus on this lesson. I’ve looked elsewhere for some guidance on how to present this lesson but I found your lesson had the greatest emphasis on service and helping your fellow man which I think is what the Lord most wants us to learn from this lesson. Thank you for your insight and I’ll be sharing your personal story with my ward, it’s a perfect example. Thanks!
