Why is it important for Christians to have works?

Answered in 2 sources

For Christians, works are the evidence of faith and essential for demonstrating one's relationship with God (James 2:24).

Works are critical for Christians as they serve as the outward evidence of an inward and genuine faith. James asserts that belief alone, like that of demons, is insufficient; faith must lead to action (James 2:19). The demonstration of faith through works not only validates one's belief in the eyes of others but also illustrates the transformative power of the gospel in a believer's life. Moreover, works are rooted in the confession of faith; without them, the profession of faith is rendered empty and void, highlighting the importance of living out one's faith through obedience and love.
