Why do good works matter in the life of a believer?

Answered in 1 source

Good works are evidence of genuine faith in the believer's life and fulfill God's purpose for His people.

Good works hold significant value in the life of a believer because they demonstrate the authenticity of their faith and reflect the transformative work of Christ in their hearts. Ephesians 2:10 states that we are created for good works, which God has prepared in advance for us. While these works do not contribute to salvation, they serve as the fruit of true faith, aligning with James's teaching that faith without works is dead (James 2:26). This underscores that a genuine relationship with Christ inevitably manifests in acts of love and service, validating one’s claim to faith.
