"One of the most controversial issues in Christian theology is whether salvation is the free gift of unmerited grace or is earned through good works. Paul's statement that 'a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law' (Rom. 3:28) is frequently cited to support the former view, while James's statement that 'faith without works is dead' (James 2:20) is often quoted in favor of the latter view. The LDS doctrine that salvation requires both grace and works is a revealed yet commonsense reconciliation of these contradictory positions." [Author]
