Everyone has heard the saying "what goes around, comes around". I believe there is a universal law, outside human laws, where by when I do something good for someone else, then someone will do something good for me. Likewise if i should do something bad to someone, then sooner or later someone will do something bad to me. The Christian Bible stated it as the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". It's not just some goody two shoes rule to live by, but stating the facts.
That would make doing good acts selfish - you do them because you know you will be rewarded. The Bible requires one to rely on faith - there may be no reward for good acts, one simply does them because it is god's will.

I don't think faith enters into this. It simply is, whether one believes it or not.
