You just failed basic bible 101.

It was very common for Lee to conflate good works with the works of the law.

They have nothing in common.

Works of law are things like sabbath, passover, circumcision, feasts, offerings, washing of hands, etc.

Good works are like caring for the poor, widows, orphans, the hungry, the sick. This is to love your neighbor as yourself, and is often the obedience of faith.

Today the Spirit never directs the believers to perform the works of law.

Today the Spirit constantly directs the believers to perform good works.
