Being mindful of the needs of others, being willing to share; whether it be material possessions, time, or talents. These acts are presented as a form of worship and are pleasing to God. (Hebrews 13:16)
So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin. (James 4:17) God's judgment is fair; He bases His judgement on a person's deeds. Everyone will be held accountable for their actions.
His word tells us that no one can avoid being held accountable for their actions before God. To every man He will make an award corresponding to his actions. (Romans 2:6)
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. (Galatians 6:7) He will bring judgement based on each person's actions. A reminder of the future judgment and the importance of living a life that aligns with God's will, as Jesus will return to bestow rewards based on individual deeds and faithfulness. (Revelation 22:12)
God will reward each of us for what we have done. We must remain consistent, persistent and stable; in our efforts of doing good. God reminds us it all will not be in vain, provided that we remain faithful and don't lose heart.
Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.
So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people while we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith (born-again believers. (Galatians 6:9-10) And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. (Romans 12:2)
