Jesus often spoke about how those who follow him will live. He spoke of a life where the heart is pure, not just the actions. Leaders of the early church also spoke about living lives of love with good deeds - this is especially evident in the Epistle of James where Christians are reminded that faith without works represents a dead faith.

The young man had strong corruptions to grapple with; the old man's were decayed with the decays of nature.... I have observed that old men have blessed themselves with this mistake, namely taking the decays of nature for a gracious conquest over corruptions, and so have been apt to beguile themselves."
