Abraham believed and it was credited to him as righteousness. The only way we can be Justified (made righteous) is by faith in Jesus Christ. There is no other way to please God other than by Faith.
Some Christians try and earn their way to heaven while others think that works are not important. We cannot earn salvation. The penalty for seen is death. Christ paid this price for us. We just have to accept it by faith.
All we need is faith the size of a mustard seed (Matt 17:20).
There should, however, be some evidence of faith in your life. ( e.g confession, baptism, joy peace repentance and eventually fruit). James says "you show me your faith without works and I will show you my faith by my works". Clearly, we are saved by faith in what Christ has done, not in what we have done. Nevertheless, Christians will be rewarded according to what we have done whilst in the body of Christ.
Friend, faith without works is dead.
