Both.
You can't separate the quality of goodness that is an inseparable part of God from His character. Good
is good, just like God
is love.
Don't let them lead you into what I think is the fallacy of false dilemma.
Basically:
Moral acts are good, so they are from God, who
is good and thus reflect His character.
Immoral acts are not good, so they are not from God who
is good and thus do not reflect His character.
God's common grace allows even the non-elect to experience and do good\moral acts - for now.
