Well said. Those who think they can "do good" themselves into heaven diminish the finished work of the cross and God's grace toward a sinful and depraved mankind.

I will add that if you have no desire for good works you need to go back and get the full dose of what God intended you to have in the first place. A heart that desires to please him and do his will are signs of a true conversion.
