True; but we ARE taught; in WAY too many venues; that..
... we are KEPT because we live "Godly" lives, behave or do good works.
Little do they realize that whether one thinks works save them or they think works keep them saved, it's the same thing. Salvation of our souls/us ultimately happens when we die. So, believing that we are saved by grace through faith and not by our works (a very Scriptural view), we know that what we are saved from - eternal damnation - and saved TO is being in heaven in the presence of our Lord and Savior for eternity. If our works keep us saved it's the same as saying we are saved BY our works.
