   My friend, after you have been saved, God is going to talk to you about good   
   works. Until that time, God is not even interested in your “good works”   
   because what you call a good work, God calls dirty laundry. The righteousness   
   of man is filthy rags in His sight (see Isa 64:6). He doesn't want any of   
   that. He wants to save you. If you do come to Him just as you are, He will   
   save you, because He has done something for you. He is not asking you to do   
   something—what could you do for God? After you are saved, after you are a   
   child of God, then He wants to talk to you about producing good works. He   
   wants you to get involved in getting out the Word of God to others. [Dr.   
   McGee]
