Not sure how this comment relates to my comment. Do Christians not represent God? If God is good, then the statement that we represent good is true.
We represent God, though imperfectly. No one but Jesus was able to rise to the standard of sinless perfection.
I think people, esp Christians as myself, don’t rely on the word “good”. Good won’t get you into Heaven. Being a good person won’t. It requires accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. And following through with works through faith in Him. Of course good comes out of that, ideally. Just remember a Christian shouldn’t do works “for”salvation...they do works “because” of salvation. And salvation is being in a relationship with Jesus.

Please forgive me. Thought you were looking for a scriptural reference.
No worries! Just a miscommunication.
Do you know if there are any references to "pure good" though? There are quite a few using just "good," but the "pure" part was what I was hesitant about.
I don't find those words together except for in this scripture:

There are many verses that show that a pure heart is needed to recognize good, to recognize GOD.

Probably not exactly what you are looking for, I don't have a lot of time at work lol but a quick look I found this. I love searching the Word for this sort of thing 😁
James 1:27
Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
