Shincheonji, Bible Phrase, Mt 6:18
Fasting to Be Seen Only by God
- Mt 6:18
So that it will not be obvious to others that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Luke 18:10-13 illustrates the prayers of the Pharisee and the tax collectors in the temple. “God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evil doers, adulterer—or even like this tax collector. I am fasting twice a week and give a tenth of all I get,” prayed the Pharisee. The tax collector, on the other hand, stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
Jesus, who served and had God within him, approved of the tax collector.
