In Matthew 6, Jesus warns us to beware of practicing our righteousness to be seen by others, reminding us that with God it’s not just what we do—it’s why we do it. 

Giving, praying, and fasting can either be acts of worship or subtle performances for applause, and while we all know we must repent of our wretchedness, Jesus confronts us with the deeper need to repent of religious righteousness rooted in image instead of intimacy. When the Father is our audience, generosity reorders our hearts, prayer becomes communion instead of performance, fasting trains us to say no to our flesh and yes to Jesus, and the true reward isn’t recognition—it’s Him.
