I try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good?

All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good.

God did not send a concept, an idea, or a virtue. He sent his Son. Follow the God of love, not love as your god.

The reason for your entire salvation, the design behind your deliverance, the purpose for which God chose you in the first place is holiness.
