Do you believe that he might be referring unto the law of faith?
Romans 3:26 "..... By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith."
But in context to the reference in James 2:10,
What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? James 2:14
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 2:24
What, so I am delusional because I would dare listen to the opinion of a woman?
[FONT="]But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.[/FONT]1 Tim 2:12
But as far a reality check on doctrine, when you learn the difference between a doctrine and a principle come talk to me, because a principle can neither be created nor made up, unlike the doctrines of men. And where did I discover this from? (See John 7:16)
So my hope is that by two immutable things Proverbs 9:9 and Mark 10:6 that I am not a fool.

Thruth is resting in the works that we have done today cannot suffice or bring assurance.
But if we say we have been good enough in our works then we are ok with God.
What is the difference?
The one who is not genuine will boast of their works, the things they have done and will be satisfied by works of their day.
The one who is genuine will thank God for the works they have done today.
Then they will ask God "Reveal to me what I have not done today and why?
Please help me to be like you.

Scripture does NOT say that. Please provide any scripture that says or even implies that. I will give you several that directly contradict your statement:
John 3:5 - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Mark 16:16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Acts 2:38 - Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
No matter how you interpret these verses of scripture and how they relate to salvation, one thing is very clear: They all involve the individual doing something.
