Our Collect describes us as rushing forward (occurrentes), readying the path for our King by our righteous deeds.

We don’t earn our way into heaven by works alone

Our good or just works, our righteous deeds, do not by themselves merit anything.

We merit salvation on the foundation of habitual, sanctifying grace, through the virtuous works which we perform.

Rom_11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

You guys would be smart to heed the scriptures...The life of your souls depends upon it...

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
