How do you guys know when you did enough good works? Or good enough ones?

If I view myself, others and God in this manner, I'm on a very wrong track.

It would be like marrying for money.

I should add that I believe the same question (with the same response) could be asked:

How do you guys know when you believed enough? Or good enough beliefs?

If our relationship with others and God is based on receiving our own reward, we do not know love and have seriously violated the teaching of our Lord.

No numbers. If one is saved through faith in Jesus Christ, one will manifest works.
