The difference between a non-Christian who does good and a Christian who does good, is that the Christian (in her better moments, at least) is doing it for God's glory. The non-Christian does it for themselves (karma, etc), or for the sake of someone they care about. Doing good for God's glorification is the chief end of man: the higher the caller, the higher the calling. Doing good things for good karma is ultimately a selfish act, an insurance policy meant to protect ones own metaphysical and physical well being. Doing good for the sake of God is as selfless as it gets, and is thus the greatest thing a person can do.
The practical upshot is that part of glorifying God is loving his created people and objects, because aspects of his character are mirrored therein.
