What a loaded verse! Dead men pretending to be alive. Works (ours) substituted for life (Christ's work). Good works aren't enough. How deceptive is religion! It focuses on outside mobility (works) while ignoring internal death rattle. Responsibility is no substitute for regeneration.
Religion puts you into auto-pilot mode, except you're gliding toward death. Religion loves the status quo, loves leaving things at a certain point while missing the point. God knows your deeds, your good deeds even. That shouldn't be an automatic comfort.
Don't be busy but breathless. Don't try doing without being. Good works from a dead heart won't cut it.
