Your "old man" died for your good deeds.
Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Jesus died for our foolishness and sins. Good Deeds will not take us to heaven! Living a clean and set apart life for God is what counts! Worry about your soul.

Good deeds are what you take with you to your grave and will be resurrected with and on the Day of Judgment, you will bring them with you to present to God Almighty. By the way, you'll also bring your sins with you... no one is responsible for your sins except you. Jesus did not die for your sins or anyone else's.

People who do good deeds don't need the help, redemption, representation or blessings from an any messiah because one should not automatically expect a reward for being good.

Jesus offered his perfect human life as a ransom sacrifice to free mankind from enslavement to sin and death as a result of Adam and Eves disobedience.However,this does not mean that our sins are automatically forgiven and we can go about our business.We were created imperfect and as such are born sinners and remain sinners till our death.(Rom.6:23)
However,if we exercise faith in the ransom sacrifice of Christ we have an opportunity to have our sins forgiven and enjoy eternal life,as John 3:16 tells us - "For God loved the world so much,that he gave his only begotten son,in order that everyone exercising faith in him,might not be destroyed but have everlasting life."

your'e "good deeds" are as filthy rags in the sight of the perfect God. So Jesus died for them too.

It's not to be concerned about deeds, but what you have done to get closer to your creator that matters.
