It is regrettable that even today some believers measure their Christian zeal by what they are against.

Goodness finds its fullest and highest expression in that which is willingly and sacrificially done for others. It is moral and spiritual excellence manifested in active kindness. [It] describes a positive moral quality characterized especially by interest in the welfare of others. [It] refers to active goodness as an energetic principle. It is the generosity which springs from the heart that is kind and will always take care to obtain for others that which is useful or beneficial. [Goodness] is a fruit of the Spirit and a fruit of the Light. [It] is moral goodness found only in believers and only as the result of the working of the Holy Spirit in the lives of those who submit to His divine will and power.
