A.W. Tozer emphasizes the significance of holy motives in our actions, warning against allowing temporal consequences to dictate eternal decisions. He cautions that even good deeds can be tainted if motivated by fear or personal gain, and stresses that the true measure of an act's goodness lies in its intention to glorify God and benefit others. Tozer encourages believers to consider their motives carefully, advocating for silence over harmful speech and urging that love should guide our actions rather than fear. Ultimately, he asserts that without a holy motive, no act can be deemed truly holy.
