There's much scripture that attests to this, but I agree. We are not saved by the works of the law, but by faith alone. However, that faith, will be sealed, and perfected by having us do good works. We still need to cleanse our feet, by walking in righteousness. That righteousness is the law of God. Will that make us righteous? No, but we are told to stop sinning, and to avoid sin, what is sin?
Biblically, it's the transgression of the law. So, if we are told to avoid sin, that would mean we are to avoid breaking the law. By having faith that we're saved, and changing our ways to be obedient to God and His law, as opposed to indoctrinated tradition of man, we walk out that faith. Thereby making our faith something that we aren't only professing with our lips, but our hearts as well. Because, faith without works is dead, and the doer of the law is justified, not the hearer only.
Jesus Himself said "depart from me ye who work lawlessness".
He actually said workers of "anomia" the greek word for lawlessness, which was translated as iniquity. Lawlessness is very direct and specific, iniquity, is very broad. Lawlessness closes it for interpretation, iniquity means immoral, but then, since immoral is so broad, it opens it up for interpretation, hereby giving way to the 40,000+ denominations we have today.
If you look back at the history of the believers, the apostles kept the law, and the earliest "primitive church" also kept the law. Not to be saved, which is important to remember, but because they were already saved, and that salvation, as Ezekiel 36:26-27 shows, will result in us desiring to keep God's law out of love, reverence and devotion to Him. Not to be saved, which is something that I feel confuses a lot of people today.
It's also, one of the main reasons I feel jews reject Jesus. Because, if the church today is accurate,
