True faith will always bring about good works. However, obedience is not a condition of justification. When we truly turn our hearts toward God and have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit there begins a WORK OF GOD in our life that will always result in good works.

My friend,James said,24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Do you not have to obey to have works.You must obey to have the work of repentance and baptism and being filled with the Holy Ghost.We are justified also by works .If you say you have faith will you not obey the works of repentance and being baptized ?

Acts 5:[31] Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
[32] And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
[33] When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
