Bad karma obliges us to take birth again to be punished. And good karma obliges us to take birth again to be rewarded. For example, let's say that a wealthy man opens a charity hospital to give free medical care to the needy.

Srila Prabhupada has written in a letter to Brahmananda Prabhu dated 11 October 1967 from Calcutta: Kirtanananda is the first man in our societ
