Matthew 6:1–8, Matthew 6:16–18
God the Holy Spirit helps me to live as a child of God rather than as a hypocrite. He reminds me of what Jesus Christ has done and the fact that I enjoy God’s favour because of my union with Christ. He brings me to call God
Father
and he changes my desires so that I increasingly want to please God instead of seeking the approval of men.
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.
