basically your saying good deeds are only good when nobody knows about them
No, when someone asks, then go ahead and answer truthfully; but, if no one asks, then it makes you look like a selfish snob when you go around telling everyone how 'amazing' you are. It irritates the jelly beans out of me when people do that. If he goes around telling everyone how amazing he is, it just shows that he has a lot of money, and he does this for his own ascension rather than the good and health of those who he gave the money to.
Heads up - CHRISTIAN-POV
Now, if you're referring to doing something to please God, your relationship with God should be
very private - between you and Him. No one can tell you if you're not a Christian, because only
you have that one-on-one relationship with Him to know if you are truly saved. As Christians, we should want to please God, but for the glory of God, not to the glory of yourself .
