Please Him By Good Deeds

The Bible says that we have been given a new heart. It is a part of the New Covenant agreement. God replaced our heart of stone with a pliable, soft heart, one He can work with. That's really where our good deeds originate: in our new heart. God has filled your heart with love, grace, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, tenderness, and encouragement. That's why it's so easy to reach out to others. It's not really you; it's Him acting through your changed heart. God is loving others through you. The good deeds we do for others please God because the deeds are evidence of the new heart and the New Covenant in action. They are proof that we are living by faith and that God is shining through our lives. You are helping and blessing others because you want to, not because you have to. It's not a religious duty but a heart's desire. Go for it!
