“The devil never tempts us with more success, than when he tempts us with a sight of our own good actions.
It is a very dangerous thing to think too much of the good we have done, lest we should imagine, that God is in our debt, and to expect our reward here, and lest God should give us our desires. “
Thomas Wilson, Maxims of Piety and of Christianity, page 115.
“…there is no one who does good, not even one.” Pslams 14:3b
