Common misconception
That reaching heaven by faith alone means that works and deeds do not matter in that understanding of Christianity.
Good works and deeds are still important even though they do not help a person reach heaven. In this understanding of Christianity, these actions and deeds come about because of faith and show the faith is genuine.
