Matthew 6:1–8, Matthew 6:16–18
God rewards those who seek to please him.
God is concerned with the motivations behind human actions, he demands perfection.
God sees all that is done in secret; nothing is hidden from his view.
God cares for his people. He does not need to be convinced to help them.
God cannot be manipulated by special words or prayers.
1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
