“We Can Justify Our Every Deed, But God Looks At Our Motives. God is more pleased when we are just and fair than when we give him gifts. 4Pride, lust, and evil actions are all sin.”
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Matthew 9:9–13 (The Living Bible) 9As Jesus was going on down the road, he saw a tax collector, Matthew, sitting at a tax collection booth. “Come and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him, and Matthew jumped up and went along with him. 10Later, as Jesus and his disciples were eating dinner at Matthew’s house, there were many notorious swindlers there as guests! 11The Pharisees were indignant. “Why does your teacher associate with men like that?” 12“Because people who are well don’t need a doctor! It’s the sick people who do!” was Jesus’ reply. 13Then he added, “Now go away and learn the meaning of this verse of Scripture, ‘It isn’t your sacrifices and your gifts I want—I want you to be merciful.’ For I have come to urge sinners, not the self-righteous, back to God.”
Proverbs 21:1–8 (The Living Bible) Just as water is turned into irrigation ditches, so the Lord directs the king’s thoughts. He turns them wherever he wants to. 2We can justify our every deed, but God looks at our motives. 3God is more pleased when we are just and fair than when we give him gifts. 4Pride, lust, and evil actions are all sin. 5Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty. 6Dishonest gain will never last, so why take the risk? 7Because the wicked are unfair, their violence boomerangs and destroys them. 8A man is known by his actions. An evil man lives an evil life; a good man lives a godly life.
Hosea 6:6 (The Living Bible) 6“I don’t want your sacrifices—I want your love; I don’t want your offerings—I want you to know me.
Micah 6:6–8 (NASB95) 6With what shall I come to the Lord And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, With yearling calves? 7 Does the Lord take delight in thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?
Mark 2:17 (The Living Bible) 17When Jesus heard what they were saying, he told them, “Sick people need the doctor, not healthy ones! I haven’t come to tell good people to repent, but the bad ones.”
Luke 5:31–32 (The Living Bible) 31Jesus answered them, “It is the sick who need a doctor, not those in good health. 32My purpose is to invite sinners to turn from their sins, not to spend my time with those who think themselves already good enough.”
Luke 19:10 (AMP) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
Psalm 14:1–7 (Tanakh) 1 For the leader. Of David. The benighted man thinks, “God does not care.” Man’s deeds are corrupt and loathsome; no one does good. 2 The Lord looks down from heaven on mankind to find a man of understanding, a man mindful of God. 3 All have turned bad, altogether foul; there is none who does good, not even one. 4 Are they so witless, all those evildoers, who devour my people as they devour food, and do not invoke the Lord? 5 There they will be seized with fright, for God is present in the circle of the righteous. 6 You may set at naught the counsel of the lowly, but the Lord is his refuge. 7 O that the deliverance of Israel might come from Zion! When the Lord restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice.

[Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context, reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to give you the interpretation. 2 Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16 For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18 we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more certainly guaranteed. Please pay attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because you recognize this truth above all else, that no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21 for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
