First to be pleasing to God any work of love we do must arise out of His grace. We believe works and faith both come from grace and the merit for them is due to God alone. They are a way of giving evidence of our faith in the love of Christ for us and for others.

How do you get that grace to do those works of love?

You have yet to answer me LC... what is the GOOD NEWS

I have answered numerous times as to what the Good News is. God’s initial grace is not something we get because of what we do. God is always the first cause of our faith and of our charity (works of love). Our faith is nourished in many ways. As a Catholic I believe that I receive sanctifying grace through the sacraments. The grace is also strengthened and brought to light be the hearing of His Word and by obeying it. Part of obeying it includes doing as Christ commanded in the Scripture cited.

And you not liking my answer about the Gospel is not the same as not answering you. Your own private interpretation is so far from historic Christianity I don’t even recognize it.
