Grace is God's unmerited favor. Something given freely.
Eph 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
And the works that follow, verse 10
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
The works do not gain us salvation, that is the free gift of Grace. The works follow as we obey Him. As I walk in my Christian life I hope to improve, so I hope to be better than I am now. So I will change, hopefully for the better. But salvation is a free gift.
