The grace of God is this, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. The grace of God is not about what we do but about what God has done. The grace of God reveals God's goodness to us. The grace of God inspires us to do good. The grace of God does not condemn us for falling short, but it lifts us up and dusts us off when we fall. The grace of God was given freely. It is not something we must work to maintain. With that said, you are right that holy living is good and acceptable to God. But it is not from works to maintain grace that this should be done. For if salvation is by works then it is no longer by grace through faith. It's not that we should not do good works, but that our good works ought to come as a result of our salvation and not to maintain it.

I never said any different than what you have just stated. In fact, if you only knew what I actually teach we would be in close accord I assure you.
My point was that Lot mistook mercy for grace. That can be dangerous. Sorry so many missed the point.
