We all agree that salvation is achieved only through the blood of Christ, not good works.
Without accepting Christ, not even the greatest philanthropist in the world could be saved.
Good works are, however, extremely important and I'd like to share two or three notes on the subject:
1. Olga's journey to the gates of hell
As you all know, the subject of hell fascinates me and I believe in a literal hell of fire and brimstone. One of the most extraordinary testimonies of hell is the story of Olga, a 19 y.o. girl from Russia. She was able to talk to eight condemned souls and one of them revealed that no good deeds will get you to hell.

2. Do it the right way!
Be humble and do it to please the Lord, not to be praised by others.
I was a bit surprised to find out how strict and severe the Bible is in this matter. According to Matthew 6, 1 'then you will have no reward from your Father who is in Heaven'.
So, keep quiet about it and, if possible, don't tell anyone about your good deeds or these may be useless in the eyes of the Lord.
