Define “grace of Christ”.

And are you saying that you don’t need to have the LDS priesthood, be a faithful LDS member, temple rituals and like in order to return to the presence of God the Father?

I am talking about Salvation by Grace through Christ. That is different. Works play NO part in our being able to return to God the Father.

Christians do good works BECAUSE we are ALREADY SAVED, not in order to gain glory for ourselves, ‘progress’, be exalted, or in any way contribute to our salvation.

I can do no good works and still be saved by my faith, but I would also be a poor witness and a poor Christian. But I would still go to the presence of God the Father for eternity based upon my faith in what CHRIST did, not what I did or did not do.

There has only been One that has exhibited 'Good' works, and it sure ain't me. Yet I have still have hope to be in the presence of God because of the works by my Savior Jesus Christ.
