In Matthew 6:1–4, Jesus warns His followers that pride — a self-obsessed fixation on our own desires and on how we appear to others — can corrupt even our best deeds. Drawing on the stories of Cain and Abel, the fall of Satan, and the Greek concept of telios (perfection as reaching one's intended end), Pastor Hunter Perry argues that humility is the only antidote to pride. True goodness means searching our souls for right motives, doing good simply to be good, and performing acts of kindness in private — trusting that the Father who sees everything will be the only applause we need.
