       Another part of goodness includes being well-meaning toward others, and being charitable, again willing to give our time and even resources to help others and to help advance the Gospel of Jesus. It is true that we can use our wealth, our money, that God has provided us with to be a blessing to others. We are to make friends for ourselves by means of our wealth in this world. We can use our wealth to witness to unbelievers, both those whom we know personally, and those whom we do not know personally—those of whom are from afar. We can give helpful materials to others who need it, and we can give our time to help them where they need help. The Bible says that when we go home to be with the Lord, when we leave this life, the people we have shared the Gospel with who have believed will receive us as their friends in Heaven, and they will receive us in their homes (see Luke 16:8, 9, ESV). Indeed, there is great eternal reward to leading others into relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. But our goodness should not just be external, but it should come from within in, from our hearts.
