I am a Christian. I have heard the arguments that Christians only do good for the sake of getting a reward (Heaven). I don't do good for a reward.
I have chosen life - in Jesus - and what comes along with choosing life is a conversion of heart mind and soul. This is me being a new creature; a new creature who lives in the light of the Lord God. The nature of God is love, kindness, grace (generosity), forgiveness, goodness, patience and many other positive things. I have no joy unless I'm doing what pleases the Lord. I don't enjoy worldly things anymore. As I walk with Jesus throughout my life, I am refined and I take on the nature of Him more and more as I go along. I willingly want to share Jesus' goodness with others and help others however I'm needed and/or can help. This is not to "GET" something(Heaven) - it is because I've a changed nature - changed to match the nature of God.
