Do you serve for the good of others? Or do you serve for yourself? Are you doing what you do because God assigned you the task? Or are you doing it because it makes you look good?
This may seem a strange line of questions - but it's a subject that confronts every Christian at one point or another. Even the disciples struggled with their desires to be the greatest in the kingdom. Yet, Jesus was always quick to remind them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." Mark 9:35
Doing good deeds will not get us to Heaven. Living a good life and being kind doesn't either. You can give a million dollars a day for the rest of your life to a church and not reach the Kingdom of Heaven. The only way to reach Heaven is through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Don't get me wrong, you should do good deeds, be kind one to another and lead a good Christian life, however, you should only do them with a pure heart and because God leads you to do them, not for your own benefit or to make you look better in the flesh.
