Interesting. So you're saying obedience to commands constitutes works?
yes obedience is works. turning from sin is works.
Jonah 3 10 and God saw their WORKS that they turned from their evil way and God repented of the evil that He had said that He would do unto them and He did it not.
the Bible says turning from sin is a work. you not sinning is again not what justifies you you are declared righteous by faith in Jesus christ
the pharisees were trusting in their works and rejected the messiah
