What role does good works play in a Christian's life?

Answered in 1 source

Good works are the fruit of true faith and evidence of a believer's regeneration by the Spirit, as stated in Ephesians 2:10.

Good works are not the means by which one is justified or sanctified, but rather the outcomes of a life transformed by God's grace. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand. This means that while good works cannot save us, they are an essential aspect of the Christian life reflecting genuine faith. Thus, a believer's life should naturally be characterized by good works as a demonstration of their regeneration and the reality of their faith in action. Any attempt to separate good works from faith undermines the essence of salvation and the purpose for which believers are called.
