What good is faith in Christ if you never DO anything to live like Him? Why do you think He was baptized and lived such a perfect life of GOOD DEEDS? Not only to set an example for us, but to also "fulfill all righteousness" (Matt 3:15), meaning there are certain ordinances we need to obtain in order to get to heaven.
James 2:26: "So as the body without the Spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
