I think it's been brought up, but in many religions, there is no "scoring points with God to earn a place in some utopian afterlife". It's often about reflecting God's perfect qualities the best a flawed human can because of a love for what is just & holy & loving, which God is said to embody. As for the Bible, it calls any "reward" an undeserved kindness from God, aka "grace", or something which cannot be earned, but is a gift. This is given out of God's love, not based on what we do or don't do, but on who we are. But this gift is bestowed on those worthy of it - those whose hearts are deemed complete towards God, because otherwise they are in effect scorning it & rejecting it (by not valuing God & what he embodies). The Bible simply shows that actions & words manifest from the inner person, so it's not like there is no connection between the two. But spirituality is about your inner person, the things no one sees or knows, sometimes not even you (ie. self-awareness), but that God knows because he reads "hearts". In other words, for a Christian, there is no fake being good or acting out of selfish motive to achieve a reward if you are actually following the teachings you claim to believe in. There is only refining the inner self to reflect God's glory, which will inevitably result in being more kind, loving, selfless, etc.
