People outwardly giving gifts is seen by others, and people are applauded for this and receive a reward, corrupting the intentions. It's a counterfeit of true charity, charity that "does not boast" (1 cor 13:4). | |

"giving to those in need is important to receive salvation" - Giving to those in need doesn't help receive salvation. This implies that you can earn Salvation. On the contrary, giving to those in need (freely, in secret, not for show) can be an outward expression of Salvation, as you recognize that you were of the greatest of need (spiritually bankrupt) and by unmerited favor were met your greatest of needs. As such, you take up your Savior's cause. | |
