Why someone comes and what they do are completly different. Christ didn't come to abolish law, but to fulfil it because the law always pointed to christ not to the law but we as people took the law as a set of rules which said how we get to heaven. But Christ made it clear it is not the law or following of the law that saves us but instead it is by grace alone. This is repeated in the bible countless times. Over and over it is stated by grace not by works. By faith. Believe and be baptised. That is what saves us not any sort of fulfilment of the law. We do not earn our way into heave. No christian is better than the next, for all it takes to be a christian is to believe. So if one believer spends his life to helping others he is no better in heaven then the one who spends his life devoted to other things. But your reward for being devoted to others on earth comes on earth. He rewards us in our lives for being devoted to him. The laws of the OT are no longer laws but instead suggestions of what we should do. For a belief in Christ is all we need. unless you are suggesting Jesus was a liar.
