The New Testament knows both a will of grace and a work of grace. The former is God’s eternal plan to save; the latter is God’s “good work in you” (Phil 1:6), whereby he calls you into living fellowship with Christ (1 Cor 1:9), raises you from death to life (Eph 2:1-6), seals you as his own by the gift of his Spirit (Eph 1:13-14), transforms you into Christ’s image (2 Cor 3:18), and will finally raise your body in glory (Rom 8:30; 1 Cor 15:47-54).
