I don't know why people make the grace v. works debate so complicated. It's like this: There's a black hole (immense, destructive gravitational force implied) called sin. You were in it and too weak to get out on your own. God reached out his hand to you and pulled you out. He set you in a safe place and told you that as long as you stay away from the black hole of sin you will be safe. He didn't leave you in the hole and put a shield around you; HE TOOK YOU OUT OF IT. You can still feel the gravitational force of the black hole, if you get too close, but all you have to do is hold onto the hand of God and you will not get pulled back in to it. Going against gravity takes a great deal of work. No, you couldn't get out of the hole by your own works alone but now that you have the hand of Jesus to hold on to, you can successfully walk against its' pull. The choice is still yours, let go and be pulled in to death or hang on tight and walk the narrow path of life."
1 John 3:9 " No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed
remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God."
