I have always taken it as clear that deeds should spring from our faith. We should simply do good deeds because we are joyous in our Father’s Grace, and because our faith inspires us to do so.

It is not the same as doing good deeds because that is how you go to Heaven.

There is a third possibility of doing good deeds because it's the right thing to do. I guess you could say that this involves following the Golden Rule, but without believing in the supernatural.
