We do not do good works to get into heaven; we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.

In this deed is my hope, not in the mere timeless fact that God is love. I am saved not by the beautiful Trinitarian life of God but by the gory death of God. I am saved not by the touching of the three Persons in Heaven but by the touching of this love on the Cross to my life.

And because we receive real life-changing love from God, we are really transformed from darkness to light.
