Yes and no. Only faith in Jesus saves us. It means that nothing we do will earn us heaven, but does not mean we are not to do good works. So what is the motivation for anyone who has faith in Jesus to work as this will earn him nothing in heaven? Still I would like an answer to my question: Does it mean that a man who is believing that Jesus will save him and doing good deeds will be equal to a man who also believes in salvation through Jesus but he is not doing the good deeds the former man does? Btw, as a Muslim, I don't believe that I will go to Paradise by my works but by Allah's mercy, since we humans are so weak to do full righteous deeds and totally avoid sins, but at the same time we are asked to work and motivated by Paradise to work and do our best since work is the mirror of faith, besides, it differentiates between a strong believer and a weak believer in Paradise. So actually both faith and work are important, yes faith is more important but work is the mirror of faith.
