The difference between doing works to merit or earn salvation of producing works as the fruit or byproduct of salvation.

Motive counts with God as He looks at the heart. He knows whether we are counting on our works to earn forgiveness and salvation because we aren’t trusting wholly in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, or producing them as a result of saving faith.
