Jer 22:16, 21
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy; Then it was well. Was not this knowing Me?” says the Lord. 21 I spoke to you in your prosperity, But you said, ‘I will not hear.’ This has been your manner from your youth, That you did not obey My voice.

We are not reconciled to God by doing good to others, yet if we have been made new, the we should desire to help the helpless. Then our souls are well with God, just as when we heed all things He tells us, not living as we used to, piling up prosperity and doing what we want.
Gal 2:10 They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I also was eager to do.
