The way you worded your question is difficult to answer, We're not save by works & yet it a proof that we are being saved. John the Baptist said "show forth works worthy of repentance, meaning a change of heart in one character, conversations, conduct & works. This is accomplish by the Spirit in the work of sanctification,"making one holy" the washing of regeneration & renewing of the Holy Ghost, the washing of the water of the Word, a faith that purifies the heart. Its by His mercy His save us, not by works of righteousness that we have done, & yet there works of righteousness to be done, that we may glorify our God & shine forth as light into this sin darken world.
Good work would be those that are initiated or inspired by His Spirit alone. The Spirit by James says, what does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith, but does not have works, can faith save him.....Abraham was justified by works, do you see that his faith was working together with his works when he offer up Issac upon the altar, & by works faith was made perfect.
Abraham believe God, what he did was initiated by the Word of God, who appear to him in Spirit, thus believing & obeying it was counted to him as righteousness. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works & its by His merciful kindness in giving us His Spirit that we attain to the resurrection of the dead, to be raise up in the newness of Life in Christ.
Bad or dead works would be those inspire by self, in any form or fashion, much like the Phaisees who blew the trumpet before enter the temple in their alms giving to be seen & admire by men, verily it is written "they have there reward".
hope this helps, in your journey to union with Christ.
You are not spiritually dead; your are physically dead, you died on the cross with Christ, the Spirit of God resurrected Christ back to LIFE, immortal life, you ARE a joint heir of that resurrection, the Spirit of God gives you LIFE, therefore you are spiritually alive, not spiritually dead.
Luke 20:36 Neither can they (YOU) die anymore (YOU are already dead, on the cross at Calvary) for they (YOU) are equal unto the angels (ministering SPIRITS; spiritually alive), and are the children of God, BEING the CHILDREN of the RESURRECTION.
These are the words of God speaking to YOU, do you BELIEVE?

Works have nothing to do with salvation.
The wages of sin is DEATH.
You were SAVED from DEATH and GIVEN IMMORTAL LIFE by being resurrected a joint heir with Christ.
Eternal life is a GIFT of God.
It was given to you before you ever knew to do right or wrong.
The bible is the words of God; to bring you to truth of what Christ has done for you, and who you are as a NEW CREATION in HIM.
You are now the BODY of CHRIST, Christ is the LIFE in you you HIS body. All the WORKS: you his body does; are not your works, but HIS WORKS.
Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my SPIRIT IN YOU and CAUSE you to walk in my statues, and to keep my judgements and DO THEM.
Philippians 2:13 For it is God who WORKETH in you (his body) both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
The WORDS were given so creation can come to TRUTH by those words that were written.
You can't be ONE with Christ if you do BELIEVE what he says he has done.
God Bless you.
You have a belief that is opposite of truth.
You are not spiritually dead; your are physically dead, you died on the cross with Christ, the Spirit of God resurrected Christ back to LIFE, immortal life, you ARE a joint heir of that resurrection, the Spirit of God gives you LIFE, therefore you are spiritually alive, not spiritually dead.
Luke 20:36 Neither can they (YOU) die anymore (YOU are already dead, on the cross at Calvary) for they (YOU) are equal unto the angels (ministering SPIRITS; spiritually alive), and are the children of God, BEING the CHILDREN of the RESURRECTION.
These are the words of God speaking to YOU, do you BELIEVE?
God Bless YOU!
