One of the functions of religion is #Community. Which creates a social contract for members involving #Rites and practices.

#Jesus said we would know them by their fruits. If you are #SavedByGrace you do the #Works not because they will #Save you, because you are #Saved. Which comes first is debatable, though you can't have one without the other.

Jesus also recognized the #Humanity in every person and modeled #Radical #Inclusion .
