I'm having a hard time with it because it seems so centered on those works, and if you read Ephesians 2:8-9 and Romans 4:5 in the bible it's discussed that those works aren't necessary. It's just very confusing because it seems that way in the LDS church.
Read the book of James. I know in some Christian religions that this chapter "means otherwise" as I've been told as I've talked with other Christian's, but that is the belief of LDS church that you need works.
It's not saying you have to be perfect or be doing all these incredible miraculous things. It simply means doing your best and serving others and loving others. It's not hard really. At least for me which I guess I have an easier life than most. I'll write a blog post about the Saviors grace and mercy for us. There seriously is so much I could answer on this, it'd take ages though.
Simply put don't get so caught up on one over the other. Faith without works is dead. But works without faith isn't much good either. You need to have both.
