Can we produce good works without God's help?

The ability to produce good works stems solely from God's grace and transformative work in believers' lives. As Paul states in Romans 7:18, 'in my flesh dwelleth no good thing.' Thus, any attempt to create righteousness through our own means will fail. In Philippians 2:13, we learn that it is God who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure. This means that good works are not of our own doing; they are fruits of God’s actions in our hearts, achieved through a faithful response to His Spirit.
