But according to James, faith without works is not faith. And Paul was "working out" his salvation in fear and trembling. And Paul admonished that those who do not work, "shall not eat".
I can't illuminate my lamp of faith without oil. I can't run the engine without gasoline. The lamp and the vehicle are not what they seem to be because they cannot function as they are intended without fuel. In the same way, faith is withered and worthless without the fuel of works. God spits out the lukewarm, and all that...
Absoultely we are created to do good works! No problem with that here. It's just that we are not saved by them; we are saved by Jesus' atonement on the cross.
Blessings!
