In this life, good works are commanded of Christians. But they are not a means by which we earn our salvation or eternal life; Jesus earned both of those for us by his crucifixion and resurrection.
Hebrews 13 provides a Christian social ethic for believers: practice brotherly love and hospitality, be compassionate to those who are imprisoned or downtrodden, honor the estate of marriage, strive to be content, and remain sincerely devoted to God.
But we're not responsible for making all this happen in our own lives; the same God who saved us by grace also works within us that which is pleasing to him. The life of the Christian is began, sustained, and perfected all by the grace of God.
