In the Bible, the terms "works," "deeds," and "acts" are used to refer generally to things that God or people do.

The term "work" refers to doing labor or anything that is done to serve other people.
God's "works" and the "work of his hands" are expressions that refer to all the things he does or has done, including creating the world, saving sinners, providing for the needs of all creation and keeping the entire universe in place. The terms "deeds" and "acts" are also used to refer to God's miracles in expressions such as "mighty acts" or "marvelous deeds."
The works or deeds that a person does can be either good or evil.
The Holy Spirit empowers believers to do good works, which are also called "good fruit."
People are not saved by their good works; they are saved through faith in Jesus.
