Someone may say, “I sacrifice. I give my money to the poor. I do all the right things.” But for a deed to be good in the sight of God, not only must it conform externally to the law of God, but it also must flow out of a heart that loves God completely. If any deed I do has the slightest admixture of selfishness, pride, arrogance, or anything else that mars that work, it’s not good in the sight of God.
