The Act of Righteousness

Mathew 6:1

"Be careful not to do your 'act of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven"

     The act of righteousness focuses on our action being judge by those people around us. Let this act of righteousness be not seen of the men. Simply means that those action which should be judge by man must not be recognized by man. The reason why this act should not be recognized by man is because of the rewards that would be coming from our Father in heaven. Our Father in heaven will be giving reward in every good deed that we are going to do. This verse reminds us that we should not be doing the act of righteousness being seen by man for this act will not receive the rewards that would be coming from our Father in heaven.(for they have already received their reward, Mt.6:2) We have a simple rule: Men will be doing good to be recognize but the one that  God would reward are those good deeds that will be donnot to be recognized but has a heart to do. As proverbs 21:2 says "All mans way seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart" We must always look into our heart if we want to do good deeds. What is the purpose of you good deeds, Is it for the benefits of your own good or for the benefits of others? Let us always set our hearts that we are doing things for their own sake and not for our own good.
