Surely if we consider them works then we are owed for our works, God owes us?
Think the Greek word also meant "deeds"
greekwordstudies.blogspot.com...
Deeds do not require payment (God is not in our debt) opposed to recompense for works as expected

The fruit of the Spirit is our deeds
James was talking faith and deeds, not sure works is "accurate" in context
Saved by grace and not works as Christ accomplished everything required on the cross (or poll, who cares)
Our deeds are an indication of the fruit, The Holy Spirit within

Faith gets you to the hardware store & it is the tools you buy there that will determine your work .
There is no hell or heaven , only darkness or light .
We all need to build an internal temple out of works in faith . It is our work that turns faith into confidence.

So, your faith is in your works, fine
Mine is in Jesus and what He accomplished
My confidence is in Jesus, not myself or my works
I am not asking you to believe what I believe

Heaven is to be with God, Hell is to be away from Him

Christ taught a way that requires tremendous work .

Yes, christianity is a hard walk, no question.
But it’s not a work to be Christian, it’s an act of love to be christian

Christ is a program
Christ is Geometry
Christ is part of the uncreated & created .
Christ can’t be figured out through science or faith.
Christ is unexplainable
Christ is Light & Love
Prepare for death is our only job
Death the Grand Advisor
We are animals having a spiritual experience
Without the fear of death , there is no love .

Christ is the Son of the living God, and your words have demonstrated that Christ is not in you.

You need to repent.
