Any mercy or work performed without faith through Christ might qualify as human good, enduring a moment to perhaps even a couple of centuries, but at the Great White Throne Judgment will fail to qualify or comply to the standards of Divine righteousness. Those who are ignorant of Christ by no fualt of their own are not guilty of rejecting Chirst. There is a difference.
That doesn't take away that all good comes from God, regardless if it is from a believer or not. There is no nsuch thing as "human good."

"There is no such thing as "human good.""Sure there is. Freemasonry is an outstanding example of human good. Without faith through Christ, though it fails to qualify for eternal recognition as Divine good.
