How do we know that faith and works go together?

Answered in 2 sources

The Scriptures illustrate through examples like Abraham and Noah that faith translates into action (Hebrews 11).

Faith and works are inseparable in the biblical view. The examples of Abraham and Noah demonstrate that genuine faith is always accompanied by action. In Hebrews 11, we read about these figures whose faith was evident not only in belief but in their willingness to obey God's commands, such as Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac. This reinforces the understanding that faith must manifest itself in works, for without works, faith is not living and active but is instead considered dead. Therefore, the combined evidence of both faith and works confirms the truth of one's relationship with God.
