The Good a Christian Does

Here is a wonderful analogy about God's grace, from C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity:
...the Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.

C. S. Lewis
Mere Christianity
Book 2. What Christians Believe
Chapter 5. The Practical Conclusion
