Some time ago I was trying to explain to my children how our deeds have greater value after we are redeemed than before we are redeemed.
The analogy of a coupon came to mind:
The inherent value of the coupon is only 1/100 of a cent. You would have to gather up 100 coupons to get a single penny! That is like our deeds before we are redeemed:
...And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment...
