So if we only walk in faith but deny the works,


Christians do not deny works, we do good works to Glorify God and to show others Christ. We do them as thanksgiving, not as a means to get us to heaven. It is a question of motivation.

We do them as thanksgiving, not as a means to get us to heaven..Agreed but in Simple terms I think many times we do *Good Works* to be in the good graces of GOD..

Meaning: A Child might not want to clean his room, yet he will do it to please his mother, or maybe he will do it so he can play outside...

Our motivations can vary why we do good works...
