How You Can Apply Matthew 6:1-4 To Your Life

There is many ways that you can apply these verses to your life. One of the way is realizing that we may not get earthly awards for helping others, but that we will get the ultimate gift from god. When this is realized alms giving should be no problem.

What Matthew 6:1-4 Means Today and What it Means to Me

It is very important to know what this passage means for now and days. It still follows the context of the verse from the previous post; that we should not boast about what we have done for good. Nor should we knowingly help for attention. Once again, if we respect and follow these verses, we will obtain the ultimate reward from Jesus. To me this means plentiful to me in the fact that i gives instructions on how to properly help others. this is a really good verse to live by for alms givings.

What the context of Matthew 6:1-4 is.

The context of Matthew 6:1-4 can almost already be found in the verse its self. The verse I am talking about is, "Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.² “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. ³ But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴ so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." What is being said here is that we should not boast about helping those who cannot help themselves. Also that if we do not boast, then we will get rewards from our high Father.
