Many older people in the Church do good works in order to earn a place in Heaven.
This is usually inspired by fear of hell or a misplaced sense of obligation - which is fear.
But true religion is centered in the heart.
A warm and compassionate heart is what God desires for us.
So we may still do good works but they will no longer be inspired by fear of hell or desire for Heaven but will flow from a warm and loving heart.
