God sees good deeds

In the Bible, we can also find people who always feared God so that they would not fall into evil temptations, unlike Gehazi and Achan. Joseph is a good example.

When he was sold into slavery in Egypt by his jealous brothers, he was purchased by Potiphar, an Egyptian officer. While serving at Potiphar's house, he lived a faithful life before God. Then one day, he was faced with a temptation to sin.

Ge 39:1-23 『Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. The LORD was with Joseph . . . Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. . . . Now Joseph was well-built and handsome, and after a while his master's wife took notice of Joseph and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he refused. "With me in charge," he told her, "my master does not concern himself with anything in the house; everything he owns he has entrusted to my care. No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?" . . .』

When a wicked thought enters our minds, Satan makes us oblivious to even the existence of God by tempting us to think, ‘How can the invisible God see me?' However, Joseph rejected the temptation by thinking to himself, ‘Since God is watching me, how can I commit sin before Him?'

Joseph followed God to the end, and became the ruler of all Egypt because God exalted him even though he was once kept in prison under a false charge. During the years of severe famine that came upon Egypt, he was also able to do his filial duty to his father Jacob by helping him and all his family move to the region of Goshen, so that they could live comfortably there.

Through the Bible, we can see that the people, who forgot the fact that God was always watching them, committed sins and came to a miserable end, while those who were conscious of the fact carried out the will of God and received great blessings from God. Think of Daniel's three friends—Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They were in a life-threatening situation where they would be unable to escape the punishment of being thrown into the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual if they refused to obey the king's command to worship the image of gold. Even in this desperate situation, however, they never committed the sin of worshiping the idol because they were conscious of God. So when they were thrown into the blazing furnace, God rescued them.

What about Daniel? The officials plotted to kill him and made a law that if one worshiped any god or man except the king, he or she should be thrown into the den of lions. However, Daniel never stopped praying to God. Watching all his praiseworthy deeds, God rescued him from the lions by shutting their mouths.
