James speaks about 'the perfect law of liberty' Jam 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
He is saying when we see that we can not save ourselves and have come to the faith the blood that can, and LIVE in this faith, we WILL do good works. It is like a fruit tree re-planted into good soil, it will bear good fruit. Good works are the result of salvation, therefore the evidence of it.
Otherwise we are like verses 23&24 Jam 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
