We could never do enough good or be good enough to outweigh the hidden evil of our hearts. God did it for us by taking our place on the cross, taking His anger on our sins on His only Son! But those who are His are now called to do good - not to be saved from sin and punishment, but to please the holy God who calls us to be holy as He is. We are saved from sin to no longer live in it.
Ephesians 2:8-10
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
