Being a good person is priceless and to acquire this gift we really need to have God in our hearts to act with love and practice elemental gifts or values in life that will guide us to charity.
Being a good person is not acquired through anything material, it is not given by the titles, the position you may have in life, it is not given to you by the physical, it cannot be given to you by anything or anyone material in this life, God grants it through his principles.
Charity is known as the attitude of one who acts selflessly, in favor of others, without expecting anything in return. As such, it can be understood as synonymous with altruism, philanthropy, generosity or solidarity. This is closely associated with the values advocated by the Christian religion, fundamentally that of love of neighbor. However, charity is basically expressed in the willingness to help and support the other, the most needy, without expecting a reward.
(LBP,1962)
The word of God the Bible describes charity in the book of
1 Corinthians 13: 4-7 expressing love as:
“Charity is long-suffering, it is benign; charity is not envious, charity is not boastful, it is not puffed up; he does not do anything wrong, does not seek his own, does not get irritated, does not think evil; one does not rejoice in injustice, but rejoices in truth; He suffers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, supports everything "
To practice charity is to leave our hearts in what we do
Practicing charity is synonymous with love and loyalty to God and makes us better people because the Bible determines that faith without works is dead and when we work with faith towards the true values of God's life we will receive rewards.
As we all know the basis of all gifts is love and to practice charity the love of God must abound in our hearts, it is that spirit of love that qualifies us for the biblical exercise of the gifts of the holy spirit and lead us to be better people
