Ahh, Yes, However, good works in God's eyes will follow sincere trust in Him.. Yes, our own works are unprofitable (and even worse, like bloody rags) We have faith in the work of Messiah, who has lived a perfect life (as described in Isaiah 53) then died the death we deserved, We do good works through relationship with the Risen Messiah, Jesus. Jesus also said, "By their fruits you shall know them." We as adopted children have the Spirit of God to work these fruits in us as we work them out.
