Today, the Catechism addresses this thought: If grace abounds, why must we still do good? What do our actions contribute to the kingdom of God?
86. Q. We have been delivered from our misery by God's grace alone through Christ and not because we have earned it: Why then must we still do good?
A. Because Christ, having redeemed us by His blood, also renews us by His Holy Spirit to be His image, so that with our whole life we may show ourselves thankful to God for His benefits, and He may be praised by us. Further, that we ourselves may be assured of our faith by its fruits, and that by our godly walk of life we may win our neighbours for Christ.
