The Bible ascribes many characteristics of deity to Jesus, including being eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. Jesus also performed works that only God can do, such as creating, upholding all things, forgiving sin, and raising the dead. 
1) John 3:16
This verse unveils the fact that God’s love was made manifest by sending his son Jesus Christ in order to save mankind from it befallen state.
The Greek term monogenes, interpreted as “his only begotten Son,” signifies something with a similar essence or composition, or “the sole of its type.” Put simply, Jesus, known as the Son of Man, shares the same divine nature as God the Father. This verse is crucial in demonstrating the biblical belief in the Trinity.
Observe clearly in verse 16, Jesus is identified as the Son of God. According to 1 Timothy 3:16, Jesus is portrayed as God in human form. Additionally, Jesus is recognized as the maker, arbiter, and rescuer, tasks that are exclusive to God.

2) John 6:35
This verse represents the first “I am” statement of John’s gospel. In each of these instances, Jesus uses the phrase “I am” in reference to Himself, providing perspective on His mission and His ministry. This echoes the reference used by God Himself when speaking to Moses from the burning bush (Exodus 3:13–14).
The people have come to Jesus looking for another miracle: more free food (John 6:26). Instead, Jesus says they need to be seeking the “true bread from heaven” to obtain eternal life. Jesus has already clarified that this does not mean good works; it means belief in the One sent by God (John 6:29).
Jesus explicitly declares that He, Himself, is the One sent by God. Eternal life is found only through belief in Jesus Christ (John 3:36; 14:6; Acts 4:12).

3) John 14:7~9
A lot of people overlook the importance of this verse as well. Philip didn’t assume that Jesus was claiming to be God the Father, as he requested Jesus to reveal the Father to him. This request was more of a dare for Jesus to provide some tangible proof (show us and it will be enough) to demonstrate God to them. It was clearly stated in verse 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

4) John 10:30
Classical Lutheran theology uses this verse to affirm the Son’s full deity.
In this vers, Jesus’ claim to have equal power as the Father was not blasphemy, but the truth.The suggestion carried in that pair of statements is that Jesus is God. Comments along those lines have enraged Jesus’ critics in the past (John 5:18; 8:56–59).

A relationship with God is the core foundation. This is actually the start of the Journey as it gives birth to Good works which is then seen as lights before men for the glorification of the father (Matthew 5:16).
Like you pointed out,
Any good works that do not stem from a relationship with Christ are merely acts of philanthropy, not bearing witness to Christ.

Our new identity, our recreated spirit is the bench mark for good works that magnify the Good News.
Just like a lamp isn’t put under a basket, our good works aren’t supposed to be hidden.True humility is not hiding our good works from the world, but using them to point to our King. We don’t live righteously so that we might be seen (Matthew 6:1), but so that He would be.
We are called to be spotlights, not chandeliers. Both serve the purpose of giving light, but they are different in nature. When a spotlight shines, the fixture is not gazed at, people look at the object the spotlight is fixated on. Our good works aren’t meant to illuminate us, not for our good and glory—but for our neighbors good and our Father’s glory.

“Good works that stem out of a relationship with christ Jesus are witnesses for Jesus.”

Works is not some esoteric religious concept. We are always doing works—some good, some bad, some indifferent. Our emphasis is on Good works as a product of an intimate relationship with Christ
First, what does “works” mean?
The word “works” means things we do, our actions.
In a theological context, “ergon” can refer to both good works, which are the fruit of faith, and works of the law, which cannot justify a person before God.(Berean Strong’s Lexicon)
For example, “good works” in Matthew 5:16 is from érga kalá, which means “good deeds,” and in Ephesians 2:10 is from érga agathá, which means “well-doing, virtue, piety” (Spiros Zodhiates, The Complete Word Study Dictionary, New Testament).

Clearly, we ain’t saved by good works, salvation is through grace. It is not something that can be earned through good works. Saving was all his idea. it is God’s gift from start to finish. He himself has made us who we are in christ Jesus. So none of us can boast. (Eph 2:8-10)
Are good works profitable?
According to James 2:24, good works are a natural result of saving faith, not a requirement for it.Been saved is by grace through faith.
1. Good works as a tool for effective witnessing.
The best witnessing comes from sharing what Jesus means to you. The best way to witness is to share how Jesus has changed your life and how he guides you. This aims at reaching out to the hopeless and brokenhearted, given them hope and a better future.
2. Good works bring Glory to the father:
Jesus set the example by doing good works Himself (John 10:32; Acts 10:38). And He tells us to do them as well. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
I’ve heard stories and testimonies of people who became born again as a result of an act of kindness from a brother or sister. They believed and confession was made unto salvation to the glory of God
What Good works can not do
1. Good works cannot justify us.
The good things we do cannot make up for the bad things we do. You could do a hundred, a thousand, a million good works, and they can’t pay for a single sin you have committed.
No, we can’t do any works to wipe out our sins. God demonstrates his love for us Rom 5:8
2. Good works do not get you into heaven.
If by our good works we could have a better standing in God’s sight, then christs’ death would have been in vain.
In summary, No action is good enough to provide our own salvation. No good deeds can undo the sins we have committed. Salvation is a gift only God can provide. No matter how much we desire to give salvation to another person, we cannot. Only God can offer the gift of eternal life. Instead, we are called to proclaim the gospel, live it, share it, pray for the salvation of others, and help people grow in the grace of God.
