Good deeds are the manifestation of a healthy spiritual life.
Good deeds create merit, improve one's relationship with God, and are the best way to annul the effects of past evil deeds. Heaven is not attained without good deeds. Many garlands can be made from a heap of flowers. Many good deeds should be done by one born a mortal. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
