Four times in Titus, we see this emphasis from God upon the necessity of good works:
Titus 2:7, 14
7 in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility,
14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
Titus 3:8, 14
8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful. NKJV
Beware of dead, counterfeit, or fake faith! At the end of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 7:21-27), Jesus warned that there will be many within Christ’s visible church that were convinced that they have genuine faith but do not. One of Satan’s methods, as described in Christ’s parables (Matthew 13:24-30), is to imitate and fake God’s work, and sow a crop of false followers of Jesus. God commands every person who testifies that they belong to Christ to do a spiritual self-examination and look for the evidence of genuine, healthy faith.
