People are struck by the loveliness of those who become more spiritually mature (I think this is a theme in Tim (and Kathy) Keller's The Meaning of Marriage). "Loveliness": a beautiful appearance in the eyes of humans.
People who are beautiful in this way tend to be somewhat good. But they are not necessarily good people. They may fail to have the heart of God. They may not be consumed with the concern for the eternal well-being of those around them, or the alleviation of the worst forms of temporal illness.
Beautiful people fit in and receive praise. Everybody likes a beautiful person, and they are easy to love. Really good people don't fit in in this world, and receive enmity. Some people like really good people, and some don't. Really good people are sometimes easy to love, and sometimes not.
