Jas_2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
So what is our work.
Heb_11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
And that is the simplicty of it, the works come by God because you have faith.
Lets look at Abraham
Gen 17:4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
But Sarah because of her age
Gen 18:13 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
Gen 18:14 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
And because he had faith,
Gen 21:5 And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Not so easy to have faith when the odds are against you. So because He had faith God performed His work as He said He would.
Rom 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
See because of this..
Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
All our works will never be perfect, anyone who insists on keeping the law, is making a fool of them self, for only one such as Jesus can do so, and they are making a mockery of Christ by undoing all His good work by there own.
Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Rom 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Rom 4:8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Heb 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Heb 4:10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Faith goes a long way
