Good and Bad Deeds (an incomplete thought)

If you follow Christ's example and keep the Father in mind while doing an action, then that action is a good deed. But if you do not have the Father in mind, then your actions are bad deeds no matter how much they benefit man. For we were not put on this earth to benefit man, but to benefit God.

This is just a first thought. It doesn't really provide insight into how Christ helps us and the purpose of the Holy Spirit. And it says nothing about how we can contort what the Father really has in mind into what we actually want. It's really easy to say "God wants me to be happy so I'm going to steal something." Part of keeping the Father in your mind is to remember that this world is insignificant (the people in it are not).
