“Good work is nothing other than obedience to the will of God.” Obedience is obedience. It is fidelity. Good works are the raising up function of the Holy Spirit in you. It is not obedience. Obedience to the law (and that is honestly what you allude to) places you under the law’s condemnation. THAT is not for the family of Jesus in this New Covenant.

I referred to God’s laws:

Faith gives you the graces to follow God’s will and keep His Commandments.

So is non obedience to God’s laws (Commandments/Will)an evil work (sin) or not?

If non obedience is an evil work, then obedience to God’s will is a good works (necessary for our salvation). Certainly our good works are inspired by the Holy Spirit and the graces that we receive. We still have free will to do either good or evil. Do you disagree with this?
