Love the Lord your God with all your heart ?

Do you think an example of a high level of goodwill is when a person gives for free?

Not necessarily. Enablers give addicts money for their addiction, but is it good will? Or are there other motives in play? Catholics give money freely from the pulpit, but if that money goes to supporting the priest molesting their child, their good will doesn't matter a bit. A god might climb up on a cross to "give his life" for human redemption, but if he demands sacrifice in return, is that really good will? Or is it extortion? Or is it quid pro quo?

Or is it nonsense?

Your question is so vague that I could hypothesize all day long. I don't think you'll care for it, though.
