How could the idea that you’re saved by grace alone be any incentive to live a good life?
Paul says the gospel of salvation through free grace, not works, is actually a greater incentive to a life of honesty, sacrifice, and love than anything else. He’s talking about how we change the human heart, and he says the motivation behind what we do is all-important.
Paul tells us 1) what the new motivation is, and 2) how the new motivation works.
