How can my actions be acceptable to God?

Answered in 1 source

Our actions are acceptable to God when they are motivated by faith in Christ and performed in the Spirit.

According to Hebrews 13:16, doing good and sharing with others are sacrifices that God finds pleasing. This acceptance is not based on the actions themselves, but rather on the heart from which they flow. When we are truly in Christ, our motivations and actions are transformed by the Holy Spirit, leading us to act in ways that honor God. Acts of kindness and support for others should stem from gratitude for the grace we've received in Christ, making them acceptable sacrifices to God. It reflects our understanding that any good we do is entirely dependent on His work within us.
