What does the Bible mean by good works? Do you practice good works? If you do, what do you do? The Bible says that faith without works is dead, so we should all be doing them.
eveh……..No one is agrueing that point, If we have GOD SPirit in US (IT) WILL produce the FRUITS of the SPIRIT in our lives. I agree with you on this. IMO

Good works are the fruit of the Spirit. If you do not show the fruit of the Spirit then do not have faith and therefore are not under God's grace.
As Jesus stated by their fruit you will know them.

Jesus said: “If you love me, keep my commandments”, and so, these are the works that our faith should produce.Our commission as the body of Christ, is to go into all of the world and make disciples of every nation. Each of the members of the body of Christ have different talents, and all should be using whatever resources and talents in order to accomplish the end result which is the salvation of God's people.
Love in Christ,

I suppose you can also call obeying Jesus' teachings good works those I believe those teaching are more about how to obtain and live by the Holy Spirit though he does also teach about what the fruit of the Spirit is.Some of his teaching were about how to live under the law as the promise of the Holy Spirit was not fulfilled until after his death.
