The example of Dorcas-Act 9:39-that you mentioned is very illustrative. The mourners spoke about the good things she did. Most people will remember us not because we lived right but because of the goodness we showed them.
Honestly, I totally agree with you that the world needs more good Christians; this is enlightening. Our righteousness is our spirituality, while our goodness is our humanity. This scripture came to my mind: Paul said that we should do things that are honorable not only in the sight of God but also in the sight of man. For me, while with our righteousness we secure our relationship with God, our good acts touch men directly.
Another example is Dorcas, whom Peter raised back to life when they told him about her good works.
