Good deeds are important, but they will not earn us eternal life.

God is just as thorough in his mercy as he is severe in his judgment. God\u2019s complete <b>moral perfection<\/b> is revealed by his hatred of all sin, and this leads to judgment. This same <b>moral perfection<\/b> is revealed in his love for all he has created.
