We are justified by works. Just not ours. We are justified by the completed work of Christ and nothing else.

But that is not what Scripture says.

"You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone." James 2:24

We are justified by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony (faith)...

No works can redeem us for we are like filthy rags... None are righteous, no not one.

James 2:
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Your words contradict scripture.

Matt 25:
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

These are the Lord's own words of how He will judge you. Who's works is He talking about?

Jesus Christ paid the price for sin, which allows Him to impart grace to us. However, Christ has requirements that have to be met before He will give that grace.
