Every act you commit, the Bible says, is like putting seed in the ground. You don't see the results right away, but in time a plant sprouts. If you sow corn, in a few months, you get corn. If you drop apple seeds on the ground, next year or even this, you will sprout a small apple tree.
You should never be surprised by what grows up, because you can count on getting back what you put in the ground. Corn seed makes corn. Thistle seed produce thistles.
Each deed you ever do, the Bible says, is like putting a seed in the ground. And God won't be taken lightly. He ensures that what you plant is what you reap. If you do evil, you will harvest rotten fruit. If you do good, you will gather everlasting life. This doesn't mean you earn eternity in heaven for doing good. It means you enjoy heaven's awesome quality of life right now, knowing God deeply and having life abundantly. To have eternity in heaven, the only way is through the Son, Jesus Christ.
Don't get weary of doing good. Follow God's commands, believe me you will fail enough to stay humble. You don't see a harvest the day after you sow a seed. It takes time. You reap in due season. Stay strong in the Lord and help everybody----because the good you do is like doing it to Jesus, and so is the bad. Blessings.
Be honest, take constant moral inventories about your deeds concerning fellow man whether he be of faith or not. Don't deceive yourselves.
