The sound doctrine of obedience....

I am finishing a study on what is the sound doctrines we are to
hold to, to stand firm on. One such doctrine is that of
obedience.
Some on these boards believe that our salvation is found in our
obedience. Others believe that our obedience flows out of our
Love for the Living God.
I personally say this...James 2:18
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me
thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my
works.
Where do you stand on this sound doctrine and why?

Faith is shown by works and a faith without works is a dead
faith, not efficacious for anything. As a living body will do
things, so a living faith will do the will of GOD.

But then you have John 3:16.....for after justification comes
sanctification, the process of walking in the commandments of
Jesus.
It is what the Bible says. 2 Thes 2:13..(KJV).[color=red]."But
we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren
beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen
you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief
of the truth:"

I could say, "I have faith" but would my actions/deeds/works
show that I have faith? Someone may say to me, "you say you have
faith but show me the proof or evidence of your faith. Anyone
can say the words "I have faith".
James 2:14 What good is it my brethren, if a man says, 'I have
faith', and he does not have deeds? Can his faith save him? 15
And if a brother or sister is naked and lacking daily food, 16
And any of you will say to them, "Go in peace, be warm, be
full", and he would not give them the bodily necessities, what
good is that? 17 So also faith alone without works is dead.
20 Are you willing to know, oh feeble man, that faith without
works is dead*? 21 Was not our father Abraham justified by works
when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Do you see
that his faith upheld his deeds and by deeds his faith was
perfected? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which said,
"Abraham believed in God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness", and he was called the friend* of God. 24 You see
that by works a man is justified and not from faith alone. 25 In
this way also, was not Rahab the harlot justified by works when
she received the scouts and sent them out by another way? 26
Just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith
without works is dead.
