'Works' in the Bible

And:In the beginning, Lord,You established the earth,and the heavens are the works of Your hands;

where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,and saw My works

(for we who have believed enter the rest), in keeping with what He has said:So I swore in My anger,they will not enter My rest.And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world,

for somewhere He has spoken about the seventh day in this way:And on the seventh dayGod rested from all His works.

For the person who has entered His rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from His.

Therefore, leaving the elementary message about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,

how much more will the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse our consciences from dead works to serve the living God?

And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works,
