There are many motives for behaving. One may want to be good for its own sake. One may want to always or usually do the right thing. One may want to please God and the Good Spirits so that getting into heaven is the reward for being good and having faith in God.
One may be good because it makes one feels good and keeps one's conscience off of one's back. One may be good and do good to expand and protect God's kingdom on earth. One may be good out of self-love and out of love for others.
