The Apostle Paul is getting to the bottom of the matter when he asks the Corinthian Christians to check their motives for all their good works. Is it done with a genuine and sincere heart for the good of honouring and glorying God and in the spirit of true love? If it is not, the greatest deeds of charity of giving away all our goods to feed the poor and giving our body at the stake to be burned will be to avail in the sight of God.
